“…Reversed micelles were formed in a system composed of PC and oleic acid in ethyl oleate and were found to be spherical. Their radii of gyration were between 30 and 50Å, which are comparable to the sizes in PC-alcohol-based reversed micelles (21) and AOT reversed micelles in isooctane (31). The solubilized water concentration was determined by the PC and oleic acid concentrations.…”

“…The radius of gyration was between 30 and 50Å. These values are comparable to PCalcohol-based reversed micelles (21) and AOT-based reversed micelles in isooctane, which are known as typical reversed micellar systems (31). The solubilized water concentration in the organic phase, the w 0 value, and the size of the reversed micelles were controlled by the oleic acid and PC concentrations.…”

“…The optimal surface area is the area per head group for which the hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions are balanced, thus the total interfacial free energy is a minimum. 115 Because the water droplet size is in the nano-scale, the droplets collide continuously due to Brownian motion. Hence a small fraction of droplets exist in the form of short-lived dimmers, which exchange their water content.…”

Two-phase systems can be exploited in separation science for the extraction/purification of desired biomolecules. This article reviews recent experimental work on the use of aqueous two-phase polymer systems, two-phase aqueous micellar systems and reversed micellar systems for the extraction/purification of biomolecules. The experimental partitioning behavior of different biomolecules is reviewed and new results with nisin and lipopolysaccharides are presented. An extensive description of each system is presented, based on the biomolecules behavior and the tools employed to improve their extraction and purification.

“…There is a bellshaped relationship between the catalytic activity of the enzyme and hydration ratio with respect to most of the enzymes studied in reversed micelles. However, two optimum values were reported by Okazaki et al who considered oligomeric nature of the protein with a different molecular size [19].…”

“…There is a linear relationship between the size of the reversed micelle and available water pool [19]. The optimum Wo value for any protein is determined by the size of the protein because appropriate space is required to encompass the protein as it determines the acquired conformation inside the micelle [20].…”

Enzymes in aqueous environment usually deal with purified enzyme preparations isolated from living matter which does not mimic real catalytic properties in vivo. Interaction of enzymes in nature takes place with different surfaces composed from lipid membranes or they get incorporated into biomembranes. Although Water is not a dominating component in the cytoplasm but plays a structural role by participating in the formation of biocatalytic complexes like glycoproteins. Water is needed to keep biocatalyst in active confirmation and hence plays very crucial role in biocatalytic reactions, activity and stability so that it can be used for various applications. This review focuses on composition, preparation properties and parameters which influence enzymes in reverse micelles and application of micellar enzymology to study protein chemistry, shifting equilibrium of various reactions, to recover various products by partition chromatography and bioremediation of chlorophenolic environmental pollutants.
