Figure 4: Morphological characterization and electrophoretic mobility of ternary assembly mixed with siRNA.

(a) AFM image, (b) height profile, (c) TEM image of siRNA condensed by CB[6]‒ADA‒HACD triads (Inset: magnification); (d) agarose gel electrophoresis assay of ADA, CB[6], and their complexes with negative control siRNA; the ADA:CB[6] ratio in (d) was fixed at 1:2; and (e) schematic illustrations of the assembling process of siRNA with CB[6]‒ADA‒HACD triads.
