In chemically fueled self‐assembly, the activation and deactivation of molecules for self‐assembly is coupled to a reaction cycle. In biological examples, these reactions are typically fast, such that the building blocks remain activated for mere seconds. In contrast, synthetic reaction cycles are s...
