Abstract
Getting in shape: DNA-brush copolymer amphiphiles assemble into micelles with morphologies determined by selective interactions that allow manipulation of the magnitude of steric and electrostatic repulsions in the micelle shells. Cylinder-to-sphere phase transitions occur when an input DNA sequence is added to the micelles (see picture).
