Abstract

The influence of added poly(A) or poly(C) on the gelation ability of uracil-appended cholesterol gelator was investigated. It was found that RNA-gelator complexes were formed in n-butanol solution. In particular, complementary poly(A) not only stabilized the gel system but also created the helical structure in the original gel phase.
