Micelle formation of endothelin-1.
Circular dichroism of endothelin-1 synthesized through a continuous flow process reveals, when dissolved in water, a strong concentration dependence of the spectrum. Furthermore, the general feature of the spectrum rules out the possibility of the existence of any alpha and beta structures. In addition, surface tension and conductivity measurements suggest that the peptide aggregates through formation of micelles.
