Autocatalysis and emergent functions from co-assemblies. (A) Co-assemblies formed from nucleic acid and peptide polymers catalyze the polymerization of additional polymers from monomer building blocks; (B) Co-assemblies derived from individual nucleic acid or peptide assemblies can significantly increase the structural diversity leading to emergent structures and functions.
