摘要：
In living cells, proteins self-assemble into large functional structures based on specific interactions between molecularly complex patches. Because of this complexity, protein self-assembly results from a competition between a large number of distinct interaction energies, of the order of one per pair of patches. However, current self-assembly models typically ignore this aspect, and the principles by which it determines the large-scale structure of protein assemblies are largely unknown. Here, we use Monte Carlo simulations and machine learning to start to unravel these principles. We observe that despite widespread geometrical frustration, aggregates of particles with complex interactions fall within only a few categories that often display high degrees of spatial order, including crystals, fibers, and oligomers. We then successfully identify the most relevant aspect of the interaction complexity in predicting these outcomes, namely, the particles' ability to form periodic structures. Our results provide a first extensive characterization of the rich design space associated with identical particles with complex interactions and could inspire engineered self-assembling nano-objects as well as help us to understand the emergence of robust functional protein structures. © 2024 authors.
