Extended Light Scattering Investigations on Dihydroxy Bile Salt Micelles in Low-Salt Aqueous Solutions

Extended static and dynamic light scattering results on micellar solutions of the dihydroxy bile salt NaGDC (sodium glycodeoxycholate) are presented. From the measurements the apparent molar mass and the mean aggregation number, the apparent diffusion coefficient and the mean hydrodynamic radius for the micelles as a function of NaGDC concentration (8.5−28.0 g/L), ionic strength of the solution (0.03−0.2 M NaCl added), and temperature (20−35 °C)...
