Proteins are nature's premier building blocks for constructing sophisticated nanoscale
architectures that carry out complex tasks and chemical transformations. Some 70%− 80% of …

Proteins represent the most sophisticated building blocks available to an organism and to
the laboratory chemist. Yet, in contrast to nearly all other types of molecular building blocks …

The exploration of chiral crystalline porous materials, such as metal–organic complexes
(MOCs) or metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), has been one of the most exciting recent …

Inspired by natural hierarchical self-assembly of proteins and peptides, amino acids, as the
basic building units, have been shown to self-assemble to form highly ordered structures …

To mimic a hypothetical pathway for protein evolution, we previously tailored a monomeric
protein (cyt cb562) for metal‐mediated self‐assembly, followed by re‐design of the resulting …
