The second E.C. Slater lecture. Micellar enzymology: its relation to membranology.
Micellar enzymology, a new trend in molecular biology, studies catalysis by enzymes entrapped in hydrated reversed micelles composed of surfactants (phospholipids, detergents) in organic solvents. The key research problems of micellar enzymology and its relation to enzyme membranology are discussed.
