Addition of " small hydrophilic molecules " like " sucrose " into mixed lipid " lamellar liposomes " made from galactolipid-rich thylakoid membranes destabilises bilayers into "'micellar "'phase.
32.
In principle, increasing the amphiphile concentration beyond the point where lamellar phases are formed would lead to the formation of the inverse topology lyotropic phases, namely the inverse cubic phases, the inverse hexagonal phase ( H II ) and the inverse micellar cubic phase.

"' Galactolipids "' monogalactosyl diglyceride ( MGDG ) and digalactosyl diglycreride ( DGDG ) form the predominant lipids in higher plant chloroplast thylakoid membranes; liposomal structures formed by total lipid extract of thylakoid membranes have been found sensitive to sucrose as it turns bilayers into micellar structures.
34.
Two mechanisms were proposed for the sphere-to-rod transitions of block copolymer micelles, in which the micellar growth can occur by ( A ) fusion / fragmentation of micelles or ( B ) concomitant fusion / fragmentation of micelles and unimer exchange, followed by smoothing of the rod-like structures.

The descriptor most often used in QSAR to determine the hydrophobicity of a compound is the log P . MLC provides an attractive and practical alternative to QSAR . When micelles are added to a mobile phase, many similarities exist between the micellar mobile phase / stationary phase and the biological membrane / water interface.

From this foundation, the thermodynamics and epitaxial face-centered cubic to body-centered cubic transition in highly ordered, micellar block copolymer solutions and its similarity to transitions observed in atomic systems ( e . g . metals and alloys ) supporting the general nature of the occurrence of this phase transition in materials.

The mechanisms on the micellization at equilibrium have shown to depend on two relaxation times : ( 1 ) the first and fastest ( tens of the microseconds scale ) corresponds to the unimers exchange between micelles and the bulk solution and follows the Aniansson-Wall model ( step-by-step insertion and expulsion of single polymer chains ), and ( 2 ) the second and much slower one ( in the millisecond range ) is attributed to the formation and breakdown of whole micellar units leading to the final micellar size equilibration.
