Enzyme mediated transient assembly of 1. a Passive assembly of ATP-1 indicating growth followed by disassembly after apyrase is added into the elongated solution monitored using the changes in CD and scattering (0.9 equiv. ATP, 7.2 U apyrase), b active self-assembly of ATP-1, wherein the changes in CD and scattering indicates a transient self-assembly via temporal control over the ATP hydrolysis using apyrase (6.4 equiv. ATP, 0.6 U apyrase) (c = 2 × 10−5 M, HEPES/CH3CN, 90/10, v/v, 30 °C)
