In nature, proteins are organized into highly ordered self-assembled structures with various morphologies and dimensions. In their Communication (DOI: 10.1002/anie.201703052), Y. Ma, G. Chen, and co-workers report the fabrication of protein assemblies by using native protein LecA as a building block through sugar–protein interactions and rhodamine dimerization. The morphologies and dimensions of the protein assemblies can be controlled by the length of the tether between the sugar and rhodamine.
