Abstract：A controllable 4-arm DNA tile self-assembly based on DNA sub-tile and DNA strand displace-ment (DSD)was proposed based on original sub-tile.The impacts on time responses of this design was studied by designating new reaction rates to toeholds.Visual DSD results showed that increasing the popula-tion ratio-active strands to arm strands and assigning higher reaction rates of toeholds could accelerate DNA tile self-assembly.These simulation results could convince the possibility of implementing controllable DNA tile self-assembly at room temperature in laboratory.
