A study of the flexibility of sodium taurodeoxycholate secondary micelles in 0.8 mol dm–3 sodium chloride solution
Abstract
Viscosity data for sodium taurodeoxycholate, STDOC, obtained from light-scattering results (P. Schurtenberger, N. Mazer and K. Känzig, J. Phys. Chem., 1983, 87, 303) show that the transition from primary to secondary micelles occurs at ca. 40 g dm–3 STDOC and that secondary micelles are in a flexible rod-like state in 0.8 mol dm–3 NaCl solution.
