Backbone-supported self-assembly is a versatile, widely used method in supramolecular chemistry.[1–3] In nature, DNA strands self-organize into double-helical secondary structures supported by a backbone composed of sugar and phosphate groups.[4] Similarly, protein backbones organize chlorophyll dyes into efficient light-harvesting complexes in purple bacteria.[5] To mimic the aggregate structures and functions of peptides, proteins, ...
