A Model Prediction for Chenodeoxycholate Aggregate Formation.

A relationship between the chenodeoxycholate (CDC) monomer concentration and the total concentration of CDC was established using a kinetic dialysis technique. Meanwhile, the sizes of the formed simple CDC micelles were measured by a quasielastic light-scattering (QLS) technique to be nearly constant. The QLS results led to a suggestion for equilibrium models of CDC aggregate formation.
