Figure 5.
TEM images of self‐assembled 11/3sb permutants reveal nanofibers and nanofibers bundles. Whereas 11/3sb‐DOK and KDO assemble into nanofibers 3 ± 1 nm and 4 ± 1 nm wide, OKD assembles into 11 ± 3 nm thick needles. Hierarchical assembly of OKD nanofibers into fibrils is presented at various scales. OKD fibrils can reach a width of up to 0.2 µm. Scale bars indicate 30 nm (yellow), 100 nm (blue), or 300 nm (white).
