Top: self-assembly of SSTs into an R4 rectangle with 100 mM NaCl. Middle: AFM images as a function of self-assembly time. Bottom left: electrophoresis gel of the self-assembling mixture as a function of time, with ladders shown on extreme left and right. Red arrowheads indicate the bands of fully formed R4 rectangles. Bottom right, AFM image of R4 rectangle after 63 h of self-assembly and purification by gel electrophoresis.
