It is essential to state that the heavy fractions such as asphaltene and preasphaltene do contain large numbers of polar molecules (23.24). These polar molecules behave exactly as surfactants or amphiphiles (asphaltene usually contains a long-chain substituent (25)). We again have to emphasize that it is almost not possible to create a colloidal micelle from pure hydrocarbon and water without any surfactant. Hence, we conclude to say that asphaltene or asphaltene-like molecules (as-phaltics) will participate in a manner according to membrane-mimetic chemistry.

Henin et al. [54] used ABF to model the association of Glycophorin A inside a membrane mimetic. GpA was modeled using two frara-membrane helical segments. The key interactions between the two segments are shown in Fig. 4.12.

Detergents commonly used to form micelles that are amenable to high-resolution NMR are summarized in Tab. 5.2, and the chemical structures of the most commonly used detergents are presented in Fig. 5.2. Unfortunately, only a few of those needed for use with nonisotopically enriched peptides are commercially available in deuterated form. Most frequently, the zwitterionic DPC or the negatively charged SDS have been used as membrane mimetics. Mixtures of DPC doped with small amounts of SDS may be used to modulate the charge distribution on the micelle surface. It should be emphasized here...

Alkyl chain(s) with carbohydrates at both termini (bolaamphiphiles) have also been reported since they are potential building blocks for the construction of membrane mimetics with a single monolayer [78]. Bisgluconamide and lactobionamides 6b (sug=Glc-A or Lac-A, X=NH) were studied for their crystalline properties and their arrangements in water [39, 40]. Alkyl-a,cc)-dimannitol 6b (sug=Man-ol, n=16-22) [66] or bolaamphiphiles with identical or different carbohydrates at both ends of the alkyl chain 6a (sug=D-Glc/, D-Galp, DL-Xyl-oI) were found to form micelles and lyotropic liquid crystals as well [41].

Desfosses et al. [328] measured binding of oxyphenyl betazone to the N-ter-minal peptic fragment of human serum albumin (HSA) in aqueous buffer and AOT/isooctane-RMs. The peptide affinity for the drug did not decrease in RMs. The interactions of HSA at membrane mimetic interface and its subsequent unfolding was suggested to constitute a drug release facilitating mechanism. 

Reverse micelles can also act as a convenient membrane mimetic medium for studying membrane interactions of bioactive peptides [329,330]. Fluorescence behavior of piroxicam in AOT-RMs and Triton X-100 microemulsions was investigated by Andrade and Costa [331].Dutta etal. [332] studied the interactions of an antileprotic drug dapson in dipalmitoyl phosphotidyl choline (DPPC)-RMs in chloroform. The DPPC was found to form RMs just beyond 6 mmol 1" concentration, which is relatively low compared to conventional AOT concentration.
