a Screening of oligosaccharides with different lengths. CD spectra and AFM (Day 1) of the samples containing R5 alone or in the presence of different oligosaccharides. The R5 alone sample results in ill-defined aggregation, whereas fiber-like structures of different dimensions are generated when R5 is assembled in the presence of an oligosaccharide. b Screening of hexasaccharides with different degrees and patterns of pEtN substitution. AFM (Day 1 and Day 5) and TEM (Day 5) of the samples containing R5 in the presence of hexasaccharides with different degrees and patterns of pEtN substitution. The aggregation of A6 is indicated with white arrows.
