New Paper: “Morphology of bile salts micelles and mixed micelles with lipolysis products, from scattering techniques and atomistic simulations”

Bile salts (BS) are biosurfactants released into the small intestine, which play key and contrasting roles in lipid digestion: they adsorb at interfaces and promote the adsorption of digestive enzymes onto fat droplets, while they also remove lipolysis products from that interface, solubilising them into mixed micelles. Small architectural variations …

New Paper: “Molecular insights into the behaviour of bile salts at interfaces: a key to their role in lipid digestion”

Our latest manuscript entitled “Molecular insights into the behaviour of bile salts at interfaces: a key to their role in lipid digestion” features work that we have done in collaboration with the groups of Cécile Dreiss (Institute of Pharmaceutical Science, KCL), Richard Harvey (Institut für Pharmazie, Martin Luther Universität Halle-Wittenberg), …
