Herein, the postfunctionalization of different non-fouling PISA particles, prepared from either poly(oligo ethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate) (pPEGMA) and the anticancer drug PENAO (4-(N-(S-penicillaminylacetyl)amino)phenylarsenonous acid) or zwitterionic 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and PENAO were reported. Both PISA particles were reacted with triphenylphosphonium (TPP) as mitochondria targeting units in order to evaluate the changes in cellular uptake or the toxicity of the conjugated arsenic drug. Attachment of TPP onto the PISA particles however was found not to enhance the mitochondrial accumulation, but it did influence overall the biological activity of pMPC-based particles in 2D and 3D cultured sarcoma SW982 cells. When TPP was conjugated to the pMPC PISA particles more cellular uptake as well as better spheroid penetration were observed, while TPP on PEG-based PISA had only little effect. It was hypothesized that TPP on the micelle surface may not be accessible enough to allow mitochondria targeting, but more structural investigations are required to elucidate this.

The existing scientific positions of the properties of colloidal systems consisting of low concentrated solutions of individual salts of sodium soaps are studied to construct a graphic model of mycelium of soap soaps, the projection of the cut of the micelle surface in a straight line is approximated. According to the established graphic model, it was revealed that the anions are in dynamic equilibrium with a micelle of sodium soaps

Fluorinated surfactants are used in a wide range of applications that involve aqueous solvents incorporating various additives. The presence of organic compounds such as urea is expected to affect the self-assembly of fluorinated surfactants, however, very little is known about this. We investigated the effect of urea on the micellization in water of the common fluorinated surfactant ammonium perfluorooctanoate (APFO), and on the structure and microenvironment of the micelles that APFO forms. Addition of urea to aqueous APFO solution decreased the critical micellization concentration (CMC) and increased the counterion dissociation. The observed increase in surface area per APFO headgroup and decrease in packing density at the micelle surface suggest the localization of urea at the micelle surface in a manner that reduces headgroup repulsions. Micropolarity data further support this picture. The results presented here indicate that significant differences exist between urea effects on fluorinated surfactant and on hydrocarbon surfactant micellization in aqueous solution. For example, the CMC of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) increased with urea addition, while the increase in surface area per headgroup and packing density of SDS with urea addition are much lower than those observed for APFO. This study informs fluorinated surfactant fate and transport in the environment, and also applications involving aqueous media in which urea or similar additives are present.

The self-assembled structures are characterized by the packing of nanoparticles on the micelle surface, and the typical packing mode turns from rectangular (typical for cubes) to hexagonal (typical for spheres).

The response of an uncatalyzed bromate oscillator with phenol as substrate to the increasing concentrations of cationic (CTAN), anionic (SDS) and nonionic surfactants (Brij-30 and Triton X-100) was monitored at (25±0.1) °C under stirred batch conditions. Addition of the surfactants influenced the oscillatory parameters: a slight increase of the induction period of the first series of oscillations, a significant increase of the induction period of the second series of oscillations and a gradual decrease of the oscillation numbers of both series until complete disappearance at a certain surfactant concentration. The changes in the oscillatory parameters have been ascribed to solubilization of phenol and of bromination products in the micelles, to inhibition of bromination of the aromatic substrate due to bromine solubilization, and to the catalytic effect of the charged micelle surface.

Phospholipase D (PLD) is a major plant phospholipase family involved in many cellular processes such as signal transduction, membrane remodeling, and lipid degradation. Five classes of PLDs have been identified inArabidopsis thaliana, and Ca2+and polyphosphoinositides have been suggested as key regulators for these enzymes. To investigate the catalysis and regulation mechanism of individual PLDs, surface-dilution kinetics studies were carried out on the newly identified PLDδ fromArabidopsis. PLDδ activity was dependent on both bulk concentration and surface concentration of substrate phospholipids in the Triton X-100/phospholipid mixed micelles.Vmax,KsA, andKmBvalues for PLDδ toward phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylethanolamine were determined; phosphatidylethanolamine was the preferred substrate. PLDδ activity was stimulated greatly by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). Maximal activation was observed at a PIP2molar ratio around 0.01. Kinetic analysis indicates that PIP2activates PLD by promoting substrate binding to the enzyme, without altering the bulk binding of the enzyme to the micelle surface. Ca2+is required for PLDδ activity, and it significantly decreased the interfacial Michaelis constantKmB. This indicates that Ca2+activates PLD by promoting the binding of phospholipid substrate to the catalytic site of the enzyme.
