Investigation of the assembly mechanism. (A) to (C) Assembly of Cholesterol-DNA with different length linkers. (A) Schematic and TEM images of the assembly result of the 18B with a short linker. (B) Schematic and TEM images of the assembly result of the 18B1S with a median length linker. (B) Schematic and TEM images of the assembly result of the 18B2S with a long linker. (D) TEM images of the assembly products of 18B1S at different time. (E) Proposed hierarchical assembly of micelles leads to the formation of the nanorods and the visible periodic gaps in the nanorods.
