Structure and mechanism of formation of bile salt micelles from molecular dynamics simulations

Bile salts (BS) play a key role in the absorption of fats and fat soluble nutrients by intestinal cells: they form dietary mixed micelles (DMMs) into which these nu- trients are solubilized, transported near the intestinal cell wall and then released. The molecular scale mechanisms associated with t...
