Electrostatic interaction regulated self-assembly of simple inorganic macroions into blackberry structures and their possible role as compartment systems in the origin of life

Blackberry structure is a type of universal, stable, porous, single layered, hollow, spherical supramolecular structure with sizes from tens to hundreds of nanometers self-assembled by various macroions (1–6 nm-size) in dilute solutions of water or other polar solvents. This self-assembly process is...
