This article is a stub. It needs to be expanded.

As the name implies all ingredients are mixed together simultaneously "in one pot".

  • faster process
  • less control
  • ... (wiki-TODO: expand here)

Artificial

A good part of artificial selfassembly is still done as one-pot reactions.
Notable exception are demonstrations og hierarchical assembly with structural DNA nanotechnology.

In nature

Nanobiology averts full-on one-pot self-assembly by compartmentalizations

  • disjunct surfaces (lipid walls)
  • disjunct volumes (verticles enclose by lipid walls)
  • means of transport inbetween
