Pathway Complexity Defines the Shape of Nucleic Acid-Loaded Polyion Complex Micelles: Spheroids vs. Hexagonal Disks.
(Macro)molecular self-assembling systems are typically subjected to pathway complexity. The final structural outcome is not only determined by the system's composition but also depends on the details and kinetics of the pathway chosen to navigate the energetic landscape during the assembly process. In this study, a dis...
