We show that by varying polypeptide chain length and dendron generation, an organogel was obtained in dimethylsulfoxide, while nanorods and micellar aggregates were observed in aqueous solutions. Assemblies in water were characterized by electron microscopy and dye encapsulation. Secondary structure of the GP chain was shown to affect the morphology, whereas the chain length of the poly(ethylene glycol) linker between the GP and dendron did not alter rod-like assemblies. Bioactive surface chemistry of these assemblies displaying carbohydrate groups was demonstrated by interaction of mannose-functionalized nanorods with ConA.</p>1 aPati, Debasis1 aKalva, Nagendra1 aDas, Soumen1 aKumaraswamy, Guruswamy1 aGupta, Sayam, Sen1 aAmbade, Ashootosh, V.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/multiple-topologies-glycopolypeptide-dendron-conjugate-self-assembly-nanorods-micelles-and-0
