Popis: | Previously, fibers of sodium and rubidium salts of glycodeoxycholic and taurodeoxycholic acids have been drawn from aqueous micellar solutions. Their X-ray patterns have been interpreted by means of very similar unit cell parameters and helical structures, formed by trimers, having a 3-fold rotation axis, arranged in 7/1 helices. Micellar aggregates with an aggregation number N ≤ 12 and ≥ 15, having oblate and cylindrical (7/1 helix) shape, respectively, have been proposed for sodium taurodeoxycholate (NaTDC) and satisfactorily verified by means of electromotive force and quasi-elastic light-scattering (QELS) measurements. The aim of this paper is to further check this two-structure model by means of QELS, circular dichroism (CD), and dielectric measurements on NaTDC aqueous solutions within concentration and temperature ranges 10−100 mM and 5−45 °C. The average intensity scattered by the NaTDC samples does not depend on the temperature and can be fitted by two straight lines, which intersect at a concent... |
