β¦ Synopsis
The extraction behavior of native and heated-denatured a-chymatrypsin has been investigated with two different reversed micellar systems. A large difference in the degree of extraction was observed for the native relative to the denatured a-chymotrypsin. In particular, mixed reversed micelles formulated with DOLPA (dioleyl phosphoric acid) and AOT show a high selectivity for the active ol-chymotrypsin.

## Abstract A novel process has been developed which uses reversed micelles to isolate denatured protein molecules from each other and allows them to refold individually. These reversed micelles are aqueous phase droplets stabilized by the surfactant AOT and suspended in isoβoctane. By adjusting co
