• Algorithmic Self-Assembly of DNA Sierpinski Triangles, P. Rothemund, N. Papadakis, and E. Winfree, PLOS Biology, 2(12) e424, 2004. "Modeling Tile-Based Self-Assembly" on pages 2042-2044

In addition to a review of the papers, please address the following points/questions:

• Why does a binding strength of 2 change what can be assembled?
• Compare the multiplexor that is built in the paper with the previous approaches we have studied. Think about the density, ability to link micronscale to nanoscale, etc.
