We use computer simulation to study crystal-forming model proteins equippedwith interactions that are both orientationally specific and nonspecific.Distinct dynamical pathways of crystal formation can be selected by tuning thestrengths of these interactions. When the nonspecific interaction is strong,liquidlike clustering can precede crystallization; when it is weak, growth canproceed via ordered nuclei. Crystal yields are in certain parameter regimesenhanced by the nonspecific interaction, even though it promotes associationwithout local crystalline order. Our results suggest that equipping nanoscalecomponents with weak nonspecific interactions (such as depletion attractions)can alter both their dynamical pathway of assembly and optimize the yield ofthe resulting material.
