The association of nitroxide spin probes with aggregates of peptide-surfactants was investigated in aqueous media. The spin-labeled fatty acid was completely incorporated into the peptide-surfactants with anisotropic immobilization, while the less hydrophobic nitroxide radical was distributed between the hydrophobic and electrostatic regions of the aggregates. The peptide-surfactants may form tighter aggregates than the ordinary micelles.
