Abstract
A supramolecule has a first supramolecular component including a first effector molecule covalently joined to a first nucleic acid, and a second supramolecular component including a second effector molecule covalently joined to a second nucleic acid, wherein the second nucleic acid has a region of at least partial complementarity to the first nucleic acid, wherein the first nucleic acid is in a base pairing relationship with the second nucleic acid and the first or second effector molecules are proteins, polypeptides, lipids or sugars. The supramolecule may further have a third supramolecule component which includes a third effector molecule covalently joined to a third nucleic acid, wherein the third nucleic acid has a region of at least partial complementary to the first nucleic acid or the second nucleic acid and wherein the third nucleic acid is in a base pairing relationship with the second nucleic acid or the first nucleic acid.
