Abstract

Aminoglycosides are capable of expelling water molecules when forming a complex with DNA via electrostatic interaction. The “water-proof” nature of the complex leads to the formation of capsules, which possess hierarchical shell structures with a smooth and rigid outer layer and a viscoelastic inner layer.
