The field of prebiotic chemistry has been dedicated over decades to finding abiotic routes
towards the molecular components of life. There is nowadays a handful of prebiotically …

Feedback‐controlled chemical reaction networks (FCRNs) are indispensable for various
biological processes, such as cellular mechanisms, patterns, and signaling pathways …

The ability to store information in chemical reaction networks is essential for the complex
behavior we associate with life. In biology, cellular memory is regulated through …

Compartmentalized reaction networks regulating signal processing, communication and
pattern formation are central to living systems. Towards achieving life‐like materials, we …

Living organisms are replete with rhythmic and oscillatory behavior at all levels, to the extent
that oscillations have been termed as a defining attribute of life. Recent studies of synthetic …

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of developing surfaces and coatings
with antiviral activity. Here, we present, for the first time, peptide-based assemblies that can …

We report a short peptide that accessed dynamic catalytic polymers to demonstrate four-
stage (sol–gel–weak gel–strong gel) temporal self-regulation of its mechanical properties …

Ultrasensitivity is a ubiquitous emergent property of biochemical reaction networks. The
design and construction of synthetic reaction networks exhibiting ultrasensitivity has been …

Shaped through millions of years of evolution, the spatial localization of multiple enzymes in
living cells employs extensive cascade reactions to enable highly coordinated multimodal …

Biological systems possess unique non-equilibrium functions, maintaining tight
manipulation of their surroundings through inter-communication of multiple components and …
