Within the framework : Ionic complexation of diblock copolypeptide poly(γ‐benzyl‐ L ‐glutamate) ‐block‐ poly( L ‐lysine) (PBLG‐ b ‐PLL) with 2′‐deoxyguanosine 5′‐monophosphate (dGMP, gray) generates a polymeric supramolecular framework solid with self‐assembled cages based on two orthogonal shape‐persistent motifs: PBLG α helices (blue) and PLL β sheets (red), which in turn are held together by shape‐persistent hydrogen‐bonded G‐ribbons.
