title: Two-step naked-eye detection of lectin by hierarchical organization of soft nanotubes into liquid crystal and gel phases.
abstract: Depending on the concentration of a lectin analyte, supramolecular soft nanotubes, bearing recognition sites immobilized on the outer surface through ethylene glycol chains, hierarchically organized into naked-eye-detectable liquid crystals and hydrogels.
