Controlling the nonequilibrium dynamics in synthetic systems is an important challenge in supramolecular chemistry. Biological morphogenesis exploits nonequilibrium reaction–diffusion processes to organise differentiated cell networks and functions in space. In contrast, artificial assemblies are mostly formed under th...
Achieving orientational control during on-surface synthesis remains a major challenge because conventional approaches mainly rely on steric effects or substrate templating, which often lack chemical versatility. Here, we demonstrate that directional noncovalent interactions can regulate hierarchical reaction pathways...

Supramolecular assembly through non-covalent interactions is an attractive strategy for building ordered functional systems. DNA exhibits precise programmability at the nanoscale and self-assembles via Watson-Crick pairing. These properties make it an ideal candidate for large-scale supramolecular templates. Since the...

Can replacement of single atoms within amino acid sequences redirect peptide self-assembly into different supramolecular structures? To address this question, we investigated a compositionally similar class of bola-amphiphilic peptides that were designed to self-assemble into filamentous nanostructures. The chemical di...

Large, well-defined molecular cavities are typically constructed from rigid covalent scaffolds, which can limit structural adaptability and increase synthetic complexity. Here, we introduce a hydrogen-bond encoded supramolecular strategy that enables structurally minimal, flexible monomers to assemble into discrete ful...
Constructing artificial assemblies that combine proteins and synthetic ligands has been hampered by the lack of protein–ligand interfaces that are sufficiently large and organized to enable precise structural control. Here ribosome display selection is used to identify a protein that binds a helical aromatic foldamer b...
