Reversible self-assembly of amphiphilic molecular motors in aqueous medium. Schematic illustration of a isomerization processes of amphiphilic molecular motor 7 and b the corresponding reversible self-assembly transformations between nanotubes and vesicles in aqueous media. Cryo-TEM microscopy images of co-assemblies of amphiphile 7 and DOPC (1:1) in water: c before irradiation (stable 7); d after irradiation (unstable 7); e after heating (stable 7); f after freeze−thawing 3 times.
