title: Visualized discrimination of ATP from ADP and AMP through collapse of supramolecular gels.
abstract: A supramolecular gel was fabricated through mixing of a cationic gelator with methyl orange. The addition of ATP into the gel caused a distinct gel-collapse, whereas ADP and AMP preserved the gel formation. This observation provided a simple visualized way to discriminate ATP from AMP and ADP.
