Shown are calculations illustrating the effect of DNA linker length on AuNP nearest neighbor distances, unit cell edge length, the percent of the unit cell filled by in organic matter, aggregate diameter, and overall crystal order expressed as a function of the full width at half-maximum of the q* peak (Δq/q*).
