Molecular characteristics of water-soluble fullerene derivatives of amino acids and peptides

The diffusion of fullerene derivatives of amino acids and peptides in dilute aqueous solutions has been studied. These derivatives can exist in solution both as separate molecules and as associates. The degree of association depends both on the nature of the amino acid or peptide residue and on the concentration of the solution.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
