Abstract

Small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements were carried out on w/o microemulsions containing two different enzymatic systems: trypsin or lipase. The results were compared to SAXS measurements in the absence of proteins. When relatively small reverse micelles were used, the presence of enzyme induced a decrease of the aqueous core radius. For larger droplets the presence of the biomolecules did not influence their size.
