Abstract:
β-Galactosidase instructed supramolecular assemblies of Low Molecular Weight Gelators (LMWGs) derived from glyconucleo-bolaamphiphiles have been designed. These precursors, comprising galactose sensitive units at both polar heads, showed the formation of hydrogels upon the action of β-galactosidase.
