A stack with a twist is formed when a thymidine bolaamphiphile (green rod with red ends in the scheme) is allowed to interact with strands of oligoadenylic acid (purple chain with yellow pentagons) in aqueous solution. Complementary A–T hydrogen bonding leads to nanofibers having a DNA-like double helix.
