Facile control of the self-assembled structures of polylysines having pendent mannose groups via pH and surfactant.
A mannose-modified polylysine was synthesized, the self-assembly of which in aqueous solution led to the formation of spherical micelles, vesicles and rod-like micelles in a controlled manner by simply changing the solution pH and adding a surfactant to the solution.
