Take the tube : Mimetics for biological membranes formed by host–guest inclusion complexes were prepared from a cyclodextrin‐ and adamantyl‐modified poly(ethylene imine) and a fluorescent dye (see picture). The tubular vesicles were quantitatively examined by fluorescence microscopy, cryo‐TEM, and dynamic light scattering.
