Tether assisted self assembly

Up: Tether assisted assembly

The idea is basically self folding but guiding larger beads on a string for:

• quicker rates of selfassembly
• more site selective self-assembly

Just as in self folding enforced local proximity leading to
higher local effective concentration and thus to higher reaction rates.

With some tricks (protection & deprotection, avoiding One-pot self-assembly going for sequential methods, …)
it may be also usable to constrain the binding space much like in the case of
tether assisted positional assembly (mechanosynelf assembly)
