title: CTAB-induced morphological transition of DNA micro-assembly from filled spheres to hollow capsules.
abstract: DNA microspheres formed by self-assembly of DNA three-way junctions with self-complementary sticky-ends undergo an unexpected dynamic transformation from filled spheres into hollow capsules upon addition of cationic surfactants such as cetyltrimethylammonium bromide.
