Two typical self-assembled cages grown at ε = 8 kBT with the patchy model. Closed polyhedral cages formed by triskelia with a pucker χ = 101° contain ∼60–70 particles, forming exactly 12 pentagonal faces and ∼20 hexagonal faces. The cage on the left is rotated to create a coalescence of the edges in the front with those in the rear.
