Interface flexibility controls the nucleation and growth of supramolecular networks

Georg Fantner, Maartje Martina Cornelia Bastings, Cem Tekin, Vincenzo Caroprese, Navid Asmari Saadabad, Veronika Cencen

Supramolecular networks are abundantly present in nature and, like crystalline materials, often develop from an initial nucleation site, followed by growth based on directional interactions between components. Traditionally, the binding strength and direct ...

Evolution of multivalent supramolecular assemblies of aptamers with target-defined spatial organization

Maartje Martina Cornelia Bastings, Cem Tekin, Vincenzo Caroprese, Yoan Désiré Duhoo

Rapid identification of neutralizing molecules against new and mutating viruses is key to efficiently combating biorisk. Current binder identification techniques use a monovalent library of potential binders. Interestingly, proteins on pathogens are often ...

Dynamic Surface Interactions Enable the Self-Assembly of Perfect Supramolecular Crystals

Maartje Martina Cornelia Bastings, Cem Tekin, Vincenzo Caroprese

Supramolecular crystals arise from noncovalent interactions between macromonomers and allow for the engineering of dynamic functional materials. For two-dimensional (2D) crystals, the substrate surface can induce the formation of new polymorphs not availab ...
