α-Synuclein Forms Distinct Micelle-Like Assemblies at Low Ionic Strengths. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
At high ionic strength, α‐synuclein forms diverse assemblies, including oligomers, fibrils, and condensates. Here, we show that at low ionic strength, α‐synuclein adopts a distinct, low‐abundance assembly state. These assemblies maintain a constant size above a critical concentration and do not coalesce, suggesting a micelle‐like organization ...

Two Complementary Methods for the Measurement of Immunogenic Lipopeptides Critical Micelle Concentration

Proceedings
Introduction: Immunogenic lipopeptides are promising immunogens since their amphiphilic nature allows them to assemble into micelles, improving solubility, stability, and circulation half-life [...]

Salinity Effect on the Surfactant Critical Micelle Concentration through Surface Tension Measurement [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Oil & Gas Science and Technology, 2019
One of the tertiary methods for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is the injection of chemicals into oil reservoirs, and surface active agents (surfactants) are among the most used chemicals.

Hysteresis of conductivity in a micellar surfactant solution near the Krafft point [PDF]

Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2020
The specific conductivity of aqueous cetyltrimethylammonium bromide solutions has been investigated below and above the critical micelle concentration, in order to elucidate slow structural changes.

Structural studies and functional engineering of NanX: an anhydro‐sialic acid transporter from Escherichia coli

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biophysical characterisation shows that NanX, a membrane transport protein from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), forms both monomers and dimers after purification. AlphaFold modelling and substrate docking provide information on residues likely involved in substrate recognition for NanX and another MFS member, NanT.

Designing the structure of cationic star-shaped trimeric surfactants most active in micelle formation using molecular connectivity indices

Scientific Reports
A model expressing the relationship between the logarithm of critical micelle concentration of cationic star-shaped trimeric surfactants and topological indices was obtained using only molecular connectivity indices.

Investigation on solution properties of surfactants in mixed solvent media: Landmark towards Surface Chemistry in Eastern Nepal

Bibechana, 2014
Surfactants are amphiphilic molecules having a hydrophilic or water soluble moiety (head group) and a hydrophobic, or water insoluble moiety (tail group).

Fusogenic RNA Nanomodules for Fusion‐Mediated and Multiplexed siRNA Delivery

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A fusogenic lipid‐layered RNA nanomodules (L‐CRAMs) enable high‐capacity and long‐lasting siRNA delivery through membrane fusion. These nanomodules carry exceptionally large siRNA payloads, avoid conventional endosomal uptake, and release multiple functional siRNAs through Dicer‐mediated processing.

Roll‐to‐Roll Processable EC/TC Hybrid Smart Windows Driven by a Bidirectional Dual‐Chromic Polymer Electrolyte

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We present a scalable EC/TC hybrid smart window using a DCPE that enables tunable solar modulation (ΔTsol:15–43%), fast electrochromic switching (<90 s), and strong thermal blocking (10–14°C reduction). HPMC improves thermal stability, while an optimized ISL enhances EC performance.

Preparation and Characterization of Olmesartan Medoxomil-Loaded Polymeric Mixed Micelle Nanocarrier

Iraqi Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences
Olmesartan medoxomil (OLM) is a selective angiotensin II antagonist that effectively lowers blood pressure. It has a poor rate of absorption when taken orally, a maximum bioavailability of about 26%, and limited solubility in water.
