The self-assembly of functionalized inorganic nanoscale building blocks (NBB) was investigated using recognitive biomolecule linkers. The NBBs and linkers were studied using bond fluctuation model and algorithm on a simple cubic lattices. The loops contained in the soluble material to avoid double counting when calculating the fraction of loops. The algorithm was used to calculate additional network properties when volume fractions above the percolation threshold was simulated.
