title: Solubilization of rat kidney lysosomes in reversed micelles of aerosol OT in octane.
abstract: Intact lysosomes from rat kidneys were solubilized in the ternary system: surfactant (Aerosol OT)-buffer-organic solvent. According to data of laser light-scattering analysis and kinetic experiments with the lysosomal marker enzyme, N-acetyl-beta-D-hexosaminidase (EC 3.2.1.30), the solubilization of lysosomes in this system resulted in the destruction of the lysosomes and the entrapping of their components in reversed micelles.
