M. Murugesan et al., AGGREGATION OF A TETRAPEPTIDE DERIVATIVE [BOC-ILE-GLY-MET-THR(BZL)-OBZL] IN CHLOROFORM, Perkin transactions. 2, (10), 1997, pp. 1959-1963
The tetrapeptide derivitive Boc-Ile-Gly-Met-Thr(Bzl)-OBzl 1 forms mice
llar aggregates in chloroform. Evidence for micelle formation in chlor
oform has been obtained by IR, Raman scattering, fluorescence spectros
copic methods and calcium picrate extraction techniques. The thermodyn
amic data indicate that the driving force for the micellisation is ent
halpic in nature.
