Comment on "Thermotropic structural change of disialoganglioside micelles studied by using synchrotron radiation small-angle X-ray scattering."
Article Abstract:
The research of Hirai et al proposed absurd micellar structures based on disregarded molecular constraints. The authors obtained inconsistent and inaccurate values for the micellar physical parameters using the mathematical inversion method. The authors failed to interpret the X-ray or neutron scattering results and did not realize that electronic densities and radii of the micelles and vesicles were not independent variables and that inappropriate account of molecular packing led to unphysical results.

Reply to comment on "Thermotrophic structural change of disialoganglioside micelles studied by using synchroton radiation small-angle X-ray scattering."
Article Abstract:
Cantu et al presented some calculations that intensely showed the inconsistencies in a shell-modeling method for the research on the micellar structural parameters using small angle X-ray scattering. The authors failed to consider that the results of the previous experiments did not reveal the presence of intensely compressed sugar headgroups or any adverse number of water molecules in the hydrophilic shell. Their comment on the disanglioside micelle aggregation number 83 was inaccurate and incorrect.

An efficient method to determine isothermal ternary phase diagrams using small-angle x-ray scattering
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to analyze isothermal ternary phase diagrams using a gradient method. Concentration solutions were determined with different molar fractions of glycolipid over the total amphiphilic molecules. The High Brilliance Beamling was utilized to carry out X-ray scattering studies. Experimental results indicated the effectiveness and efficiency of the gradient method to analyze ternary phase prisms.
