Fig. 6: Phase diagrams of G1-P-G1 and G2-P-G2.
From: Self assembling cluster crystals from DNA based dendritic nanostructures
A concentration-temperature phase diagram of aqueous solutions of G1-P-G1 (a) and G2-P-G2 (b). The following phases are indicated: Fluid (black circles), cluster fluid (gray circles), BCC cluster crystal (red triangles), liquid crystalline BCC-like cluster crystal (BCCLC cluster, blue triangles), liquid crystalline glass-like (GLC, brown triangles), non-birefringent glass-like (Cluster G, purple triangles) and hexagonal packed cylinder (HPC, magenta squares). The corresponding background colors are added to assist in identifying the various phases. The structural assignment of the orange region in the G1-P-G1 phase diagram based solely on the SAXS data was not possible. The green-dashed lines indicate the DNA overlap concentration c* of G1-P-G1 and G2-P-G2 (see Methods, “System parameters” section).
