Abstract

Abstract Self‐assembling minimalistic peptides embedded with an organocatalytic moiety were designed. By controlling the formation of fibrils via external intervention, it was shown that the activation is accelerated when the organocatalyst is in its supramolecular state. The effect of the accelerated catalysis was demonstrated in a Michael benchmark reaction.
