Abstract

We report a bimolecular motor-driven, dynamic self-assembly system in which the thermodynamic (biotin–streptavidin bond formation) and energy dissipative (ATP catalysis) components can systematically be varied to achieve several morphologically distinct nanocomposite structures consisting of microtubules and semiconductor nanocrystals.
