title: Carbohydrate-coated nanocapsules from amphiphilic rod-coil molecule: binding to bacterial type 1 pili.
abstract: Stable carbohydrate-coated nanocapsules designed as multivalent nanoscaffolds for selective interactions with receptors are able to encapsulate guest molecules within their interior and to bind efficiently to FimH adhesin of bacterial type 1 pili.
