We describe the stepwise construction of an 8-component self-sorted system (1-8) by the
sequential addition of components. This process occurs via a large number of states (2 8 …

Self-sorting represents the spontaneous transformation of a low-order multicomponent
system into several high-order subsystems with fewer components. This elementary …

A current objective in supramolecular chemistry is to mimic the transitions between complex
self‐sorted systems that represent a hallmark of regulatory function in nature. In this work, a …

Self-sorting the ability to efficiently distinguish between self and nonself is common in nature
but is still relatively rare in synthetic supramolecular systems. We report a 12-component …

Kinetically controlled self-sorting processes in complex synthetic mixtures represent an
important model for behaviours of biological networks, which operate far from equilibrium …

The molecular recognition platforms of natural systems often possess multiple binding
epitopes, each of which has programmed functional consequences. We report the dynamic …

A defining feature of living organisms is the ability of their biomolecular machinery to create
a highly complex set of functional structures from a relatively limited set of basic building …

Addressable self-assembly is the formation of a target structure from a set of unique
molecular or colloidal building blocks, each of which occupies a defined location in the …

Large protein-sized synthetic supramolecular architecture is rare and certainly has not yet
achieved the structural and functional complexity of biomolecules. As multiple, identical …

Nature successfully manages under extremely adverse conditions to accomplish intricate
functions responsible for the regulation and control of the vast majority of biological …
