... neutral pH, an MG conforma-tion resembling that of the MG conformation adoptedby intact a-LA at pH 2. 0 [31, 32] . The conformationalproperties of the OA complexes of these fragments wereanalyzed ... 20 -fold the CAC value of OA. Estimatedvalues of the CAC of OA were 0.94 ± 0 .24 lm in the presence of a-LA, and 0.86 ± 0 .29 , 1 .22 ± 0 .24 and0.93 ± 0.56 lm, respectively, in the presence of ... indicating the formation of smaller aggregatesat a lower OA concentration in the presence of proteinspecies. As the formation of OA micelles requires the complete ionization of the fatty acid...
