Dynamic Combinatorial Evolution within Self-Replicating Supramolecular Assemblies

Survival of the fittest: Self‐assemblies made of dynamic block copolymers (dynablocks) can self‐replicate by catalyzing the formation of their own building blocks. Moreover, in competition experiments, the differential thermodynamic stabilities and autocatalytic efficiencies of these self‐assemblies lead to sigmoid growth of the most efficient self‐replicator and to depletion of its competitors.
