Furthermore, using this approach it was predicted that over 50% of the active peptides would be surface active.
Traditionally these organic molecules are referred to as surfactants in the sense that they are surface active and tend to adsorb at an interface.
The role of tars in the origin of life has been neglected, even though they are surface active and likely to form the first complex 'tarry vesicles' [ 49] (David Deamer, personal communication, 2012).
These new compounds are surface active and retain the redox activity of C60 even in aqueous medium.
Tensiometry demonstrated that the recombinant BslA, while soluble in solution, was surface active meaning that the protein migrates to an air/water or oil/water interface where it forms an elastic film (Hobley et al. 2013).
The polymers discussed in this paper are amphiphilic in nature, i.e., they are surface active (enrich at interfaces) and they have the ability to form micelles in an aqueous water phase and reverse micelles in an oil phase.
(115) Partially hydrolyzed lipids are surface active and find use as emulsifiers, for example, in bread to reduce staling and starch crystallization.
It is generally recognized that these materials are surface active and can solubilize a wide variety of hydrophobic species.
The sterols are surface active compounds and may represent major problems for subsequent physical property measurements such as wettability.
