Emergence of Compartments Formed from Unconventional Surfactants in Dynamic Combinatorial Libraries Open
Assembly processes can drive the selection of self-assembling molecules in dynamic combinatorial libraries, yielding self-synthesizing materials. We now show how such selection in a dynamic combinatorial library made from an amphiphilic bu…

Mechanism of Building Block Exchange in Stacks of Self-Replicating Macrocycles Open
Self-replicating molecules containing labile reversible covalent bonds are becoming increasingly topical. Yet their robustness to component exchange and the threat of loss of information has received very little attention. We show here tha…

Control over the emergence of self-replicators in dynamic molecular networks Open
The quest for the origin of life requires the understanding of how the cells, the simplest living organisms, could have assembled from simple molecules to the point of bearing fundamental properties as self-replication (i.e. the ability to…

Multi-step control over self-assembled hydrogels of peptide-derived building blocks and a polymeric cross-linker Open
We present a detailed study of self-assembled hydrogels of bundled and cross-linked networks consisting of positively charged amyloid-like nanofibers and a triblock copolymer with negatively charged end blocks as a cross-linker.

Controlling the Structure and Length of Self‐Synthesizing Supramolecular Polymers through Nucleated Growth and Disassembly Open
Directing self‐assembly processes out‐of‐equilibrium to yield kinetically trapped materials with well‐defined dimensions remains a considerable challenge. Kinetically controlled assembly of self‐synthesizing peptide‐functionalized macrocyc…

Solvent Composition Dictates Emergence in Dynamic Molecular Networks Containing Competing Replicators Open
In Darwinian evolution, species that are better adapted to their environment win the competition for common resources from less well-adapted competitors. Thus, in such scenarios the nature of the environment may dictate the outcome of the …
