Dynamic protein assembly along supramolecular columnar polymers has been achieved through the sitespecific covalent attachment of different SNAP-tag fusion proteins to self-assembled benzylguaninedecorated discotics. The self-assembly of monovalent discotics into supramolecular polymers creates a multivalent, bio-orthogonal and self-regulating framework for protein assembly. The intrinsic reversibility of supramolecular interactions results in reorganization and exchange of building blocks
