This review discusses one-dimensional supramolecular polymers that form in aqueous
media. First, naturally occurring supramolecular polymers are described, in particular …

The association of building blocks into supramolecular polymers allows the fabrication of
diverse functional architectures at the nanoscale. The use of minimal assembly units to …

The field of supramolecular chemistry has advanced to a level on which it is possible to
select building blocks that will selfassemble into exciting structures ranging from simple host …

Programming the hierarchical self-assembly of small molecules has been a fundamental
topic of great significance in biological systems and artificial supramolecular systems …

Dynamic and reversible assembly of molecules is ubiquitous in the hierarchical
superstructures of living systems and plays a key role in cellular functions. Recent work from …

Supramolecular materials have drawn much attention in the past years, particularly because
of their great versatility in terms of structures, organization, and types of nano-objects they …

Peptide 1 with an Aβ42 amyloid nucleating core demonstrates step-wise self-assembly in
water. Variation of temperature or solvent composition arrests the self-assembly to give …

Supramolecular polymers are, in broad brushstrokes, self-assembled structures built up from
small building blocks via the use of noncovalent interactions. In favorable cases …

The hypothesis that RNA and DNA are products of chemical and biological evolution has
motivated our search for alternative nucleic acids that may have come earlier in the …

Polymeric materials in nature regularly employ ordered, hierarchical structures in order to
perform unique and precise functions. Importantly, these structures are often formed and …
