From measurements of the autocorrelation function and the time-averaged intensity of light scattered from aqueous bile salt solutions, the mean hydrodynamic radius (.hivin.Rh), shape, aggregation number (.hivin.n), and polydispersity of bile salt micelles as a function of bile sale species, concentration, temperature, and NaCl and urea concentrations were determined. The trihydroxy bile salt taurocholate (TC) forms smaller micelles than the dihydroxy bile salts taurodeoxycholate (TDC), tauroursodeoxycholate (TUDC), and taurochenodeoxycholate (TCDC), the latter species vary in size in the following order: TDC > TCDC > TUDC. In 0.15 M NaCl the .hivin.Rh and .hivin.n values are weakly dependent on bile salt concentration, whereas in 0.6 M NaCl the micelles grow appreciably with increasing concentration. The extent of micellar growth increases as the temperature is lowered from 60 to 20.degree. C but is diminished by the addition of urea (0-6 M). The large micelles are rod-like and quite polydisperse. These data are quantitatively consistent with a 2-stage model of bile salt aggregation in which bile salt monomers first associate hydrophobically at the critical micellar concentration to form small globular primary micelles. At higher bile salt concentrations the primary micelles then polymerize into rod-like secondary micelles. The polymerization constant (K) for this process as a function of each physical-chemical variable was determined. From a thermodynamic analysis of the K values, it is concluded that the driving force for secondary micelle formation is also an unfavorable hydrophobic interaction between the surface of the primary micelle and the aqueous solvent which is largely enthalpic in origin. The NaCl dependence of K can be predicted from the Verwey-Overbeek theory of double layer repulsion and the influence of urea on secondary micelle formation is consistent with experimental data for the free energy of transferring nonpolar amino acid side groups from water to urea solutions.
