【 摘 要 】

Apomyoglobin was found to break down phosphatidylcholine vesicles to form a micellar complex at pH 4. Size reduction during this process was observed by measuring light scattering at 400 nm and by passing the complex through a gel-filtration column. Micellar complex formation was confirmed by electron microscopy.
