Chemically fueled self-assembly is an extreme case of dynamic self-assembly in which kinetic trapping is particularly unwanted. Here, assembly is coupled to a chemical reaction cycle to yield assemblies regulated through the kinetics of that reaction cycle. The reaction cycle comprises at least two chemical reactions, i.e., an activation reaction that activates building blocks for self-assembly at the expense of a high-energy chemical reagent (i.e., a chemical fuel) and a spontaneous deactivation reaction reverts the building blocks to their precursor state (Scheme 1A). In dynamic self-assembly of, for example, tubulin or actin, the emerging assemblies have vastly different properties compared to their in-equilibrium analogs because building blocks are constantly activated and deactivated for assembly. When the assembly and disassembly rates of building blocks are fast, the assemblies are dynamic, and their properties are regulated through the kinetics of the reaction cycle resulting in exciting behavior like treadmilling and size control (Scheme 1B).
