Query: Procedure to construct a multi-scale coarse-grained model of DNA-coated
  colloids from experimental data   We present a quantitative, multi-scale coarse-grained model of DNA coated
colloids. The parameters of this model are transferable and are solely based on
experimental data. As a test case, we focus on nano-sized colloids carrying
single-stranded DNA strands of length comparable to the colloids' size. We show
that in this regime, the common theoretical approach of assuming pairwise
additivity of the colloidal pair interactions leads to quantitatively and
sometimes even qualitatively wrong predictions of the phase behaviour of
DNA-grafted colloids. Comparing to experimental data, we find that our
coarse-grained model correctly predicts the equilibrium structure and melting
temperature of the formed solids. Due to limited experimental information on
the persistence length of single-stranded DNA, some quantitative discrepancies
are found in the prediction of spatial quantities. With the availability of
better experimental data, the present approach provides a path for the rational
design of DNA-functionalised building blocks that can self-assemble in complex,
three-dimensional structures.
