Fig. 3

a Schematic representation of two autonomous cycles of (dis)assembly in the unbuffered medium in a closed system. b Representative vial images showing the temporal transition of different phases in an unbuffered system (done in 10 different sets of vials under identical experimental conditions). After 48 h, 6 out of 10 vials became viscous sol while the rest remained as a weak gel. c Time-dependent TEM images. All scale bars correspond to 1 µm. d Temporal change of pH in unbuffered medium. e Time-dependent change of turbidity in the unbuffered system. Error bars represent standard deviations of triplicate experiments.
