technical It is highly relevant to compare these results to NMR data on solubilization of small aromatic molecules in alkylglycoside micelles.
Example sentencesExamples
- The most-important chemical effects of the air pollution are acidification of soil and fresh water, which in turn causes a solubilization of toxic metals.
- Research on surfactants and membrane solubilization showed that anionic surfactants interact more with lipid bilayers.
- An additional important result was that the resistance of proteins to solubilization correlated with the lipid phase of the membrane where the protein was inserted.
