Abstract
- We synthesized a novel bile acid derivative labelled with tryptophan.
- We characterized the self-assembly of the derivative in aqueous solution at high and low pH.
- Ellipsoidal micelles are formed in alkaline and acid solutions.
- A supramolecular gel is formed in acid solution by lowering temperature.
- Tryptophan experiences a polar environment irrespectively of the aggregate structure.
