13C NMR of study of entrapping proteins (α-chymotrypsin) into reversed micelles of surfactants (aerosol OT) in organic solvents (n-octane)

Hydrated reversed micelles of Aerosol OT (AOT) in octane have been studied by 13 C NMR spectroscopy. The changes of spin-lattice relaxation times for individual segments of the AOT molecule, induced by entrapping a protein (α-chymotrypsin) into the micelle, have been determined by the inversion-recovery technique
