I missed the original post, but have just been discussing this kind of
situation with my student.  Is the absolute value of the ellipticity
increasing or decreasing? If it is decreasing, I would suggest aggregation
leading to light scattering.  If the absolute value is increasing, perhaps
more beta structure is being formed.  Have you calculated the % beta etc.
under the two circumstances?  There was a paper by Greenfield within the
last couple of years in Anal. Biochem. that compares several algorithms,
some work better than others with predominately beta proteins.
