trans-sodium crocetinate and diffusion enhancement

Article Abstract:

A study finds that trans-Sodium crocetinate (TSC) increases the diffusion coefficient of glucose through water by about 25-30%, which is the same percentage increase that TSC causes in the diffusivity of oxygen through water. TSC also induces order in the surrounding water structure through increased hydrogen bonding of the water molecules, and molecular simulations suggest that the increase in diffusivity occurs only in these ordered regions.

Structural investigation of the confinement of finite amounts of trehalose in water-containing sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate reversed micelles

Article Abstract:

The structural effects of trehalose confined in water-containing sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT) reversed micelles was investigated by small angle neutron scattering (SANS). The results suggest that the trehalose confinement in water-containing reversed micelles involves marked changes on the molecular packing of the water containing micellar cores.

Comment on "two-dimensional NMR study on the structures of micelles of sodium taurocholate

Article Abstract:

The issue of 'two-dimensional NMR study on the structures of micelles of sodium taurocholate' is presented. The molecular modeling procedure and the considerations on the stability of the dimeric fragments cannot be reliable if sodium ions and their coordinated water molecules are not taken into account.
