A Kinetic Analysis of the Endogenous Lactate Dehydrogenase Activity of Duck Lens ε-Crystallin in Reverse Micelles

Substituent effect on the emission behavior of thiazolidinedione derivatives in cationic and anionic micellar media

“…The knowledge of the structure of the micelles, the local environment, the local concentration and the relative orientation of the solubilized molecules is of fundamental importance in understanding the nature of the solubilization and the physical and chemical behavior of the solubilized species [6,7]. Micelles, which are used as membrane biomimetic agents, gain importance by virtue of their capacity to provide a matrix for arranging the reaction sequentially for efficient interaction, i.e., they help in compartmentalization of the reactants dynamically [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Water molecules, which are tightly bound to the surfactant head groups of micelles, resemble the hydrophilic pockets of enzymes and have high viscosities, low mobilities and polarities [18,19].…”

Modulated photophysics of 2-anthracene sulphonate in micellar assembly

“…They may self-organize to form micelles under satisfied conditions. These aggregates are often used as membrane biomimetic agents [1,2]. Substrate molecule may be sequestered and organized in the micellar interior or in the micellar boundary [3].…”
