Karl Muller** abstract: The three-dimensional structure of bile salt/lecithin mixed micelles in 0.15 M saline was derived from X-ray small-angle scattering measurements under various conditions. Two essentially different types of micelles were detected. At bile salt: lecithin molar ratios lower than approximately 2: 1, lamellar particles similar to a lecithin bilayer arrangement were found. The thickness of the bilayer is 5.1 nm for mixed mi-celles having a molar ratio of 1: 1. The lateral dimensions of the micelle were found strongly dependent upon molar ratio, increasing as lecithin content increases. In addition, it appeared that under certain incompletely defined conditions vesicular particles having diameters in the region of more than 100 nm occur. A molecular model of this type of micelle has been derived by means of a thorough interpretation of the electron density distribution across the plane of the bilayer. This model is generally consistent with the “mixed-disk” model of Mazer et al.[Mazer, NA, Kwasnick, RF, Carey, M.
