Nanostructures formed from a plurality of structural units in which the positions of the structural units relative to each other are established in a defined geometry, are formed by sequentially adding structural units to a growing structure to build up the nanostructure. The nanostructure includes two or more species of protein structural units, and each structural unit is added to the growing structure in a separate structural unit-addition step. Structural units not incorporated in the growing structure is removed at the end of each structural unit-addition step. Each species of structural unit has the ability to assemble non-covalently with the growing nanostructure to which it is added but cannot self-assemble with other structural units of the same species.
