Supramolecular chemistry in the cell : Synthetic supramolecular constructs ligated to proteins modulate protein assembly (see picture). The interaction between the supramolecular elements is operative both in vitro and in cells, and drives the proteins to assemble, as revealed by a strong FRET effect between the engineered proteins.
