Abstract: Heterogeneous molecules such as amphiphiles and biopolymers are ubiquitous components of life and physical sciences. In this talk, I will describe how to control the organization and key functions of heterogeneous molecules into functional structures such as catalytic closed shells and co-assemblies of polyelectrolytes with enzymes into membranes that mimic organelles.
