Abstract
An experimental study of the spontaneous aggregation geometry of sialic acid containing glyco-lipids, the gangliosides, in water solution is presented. Interestingly enough, it is possible to follow the transition from the energetically ''Frustrated'' bilayer type structures of pure GM3 solutions to lower energy vesicular states and then to mixed micellar solutions by progressively adding the second ganglioside GMI to the initial GM3 solution.
