Self‐assembly of 11/3sb permutants. A) Symmetric assembly of DOK, KDO, and OKD permutants is presented on the 11/3sb template, highlighted in red, green, and blue, respectively. The uniform 11‐residue interstrand stagger required for symmetric assembly and the resulting perfect charge pairing common to all 11/3sb permutants are demonstrated with OKD. B) CD spectra and thermal denaturation curves confirm triple‐helical assembly for all 11/3sb permutants at 0.6 mg/mL. Samples were prepared in 10 mm sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, unless noted otherwise.
