Protonation equilibria ofL-proline and L-valine in varying compositions (0.0-60.0% v/v) of 1, 2-Propanediol-water mixtures were investigated pH-metrically. Titrations were performed at 303.0 K and the ionic strength of the medium was maintained at 0.16 mol L-1using sodium chloride. The best fit chemical models of the protonation equilibria were based on crystallographic R-factor, Χ2, skewness, and kurtosis. All the protonation constants of proline and valine increased with increasing propanediol content. This is attributed to the dielectric constant of the medium.

Skewness And Kurtosis

Protonation equilibria of L-serine and L-tryptophan in varying compositions (0.0-50.0 % v/v) of ethylene glycol-water mixtures were investigated pH-metrically. Titrations were performed at 303.0 K and the ionic strength of the medium was maintained at 0.16 mol L-1 using sodium chloride. The protonation constants have been calculated with the computer program MINIQUAD 75 and are selected based on statistical parameters. The best fit chemical models of the protonation equilibria were based on crystallographic R-factor, χ2, skewness and kurtosis. The protonation constants of L-serine and L-tryptophan change linearly with increasing ethylene glycol content. This is attributed to the dielectric constant of the medium.

Equilibrium study on complex formation of L-histidine with Pb(II), Cd(II), and Hg(II) has been investigated pH metrically in DMSO-water mixtures (0–60% v/v) at 303 K and 0.16 mol L−1 ionic strength. The predominant species detected for Pb(II) and Cd(II) are ML2H4, ML2H3, ML2H2, ML2H, and ML2 and those for Hg(II) are ML2H4, ML2H3, ML2, and ML. The appropriateness of experimental conditions is verified by introducing errors intentionally in the concentrations of ingredients. The models containing different numbers of species were refined by using the computer program MINIQUAD75. The best-fit chemical models were arrived at based on statistical parameters. The trend in variation of stability constants of the complexes with dielectric constant of the medium is attributed to the electrostatic and nonelectrostatic forces. The species distribution and the plausible equilibria for the formation of the species are also presented.

The impact of sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) on the protonation equilibria ofL-aspartic acid, citric acid and succinic acid has been studied in various concentrations (0.5-2.5%w/v) of SLS solution maintaining an ionic strength of 0.16 mol dm-3at 303 K. The protonation constants have been calculated with the computer program MINIQUAD75 and the best fit models have been calculated based on statistical parameters. The trend of log values of step-wise protonation constants with mole fraction of the medium has been explained based on electrostatic and non-electrostatic forces operating on the protonation equilibria. The effects of errors on the protonation constants have also been presented.

1. As an introduction to the relations that obtain in biochemical systems containing several components, some ionic, some dipolar ionic, the solubility of cystine has been investigated in the presence of glycine and neutral salts. 2. Both glycine and sodium chloride increase cystine solubility at all concentrations. The interaction between cystine and ions is, however, diminished with increase in glycine concentration, and the interaction between cystine and glycine with increase in ionic strength. 3. Sodium sulfate also increases the solubility of cystine, but at concentrations greater than one molal its solvent action is smaller than its salting-out effect, which is greater at all concentrations than that of sodium chloride, and greater the higher the glycine concentration. 4. These interactions are defined by an equation giving the solubility ratio of cystine in terms of salting-out constants, constants related to the electric moments of cystine, and to the ionic strength and dielectric constant of the solution. 5. The higher the concentration of glycine and therefore the dielectric constant of the solution, the smaller that part of the interaction between ions and dipolar ions which depends upon Coulomb forces and the greater appears the salting-out effect. 6. Conversely, the greater the ionic strength and the salting-out effect the smaller the interaction between dipolar ions in solution.

Investigation of mononuclear complex of L-ornithine in tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB, a cationinc surfactant) micelle media has been made pH metrically at constant temperature and ionic strength in different percentage of micellar solutions (0.0-2.5 %). Stability constants and best fit model for metal complexes were obtained by MINIQUAD75 computer program on the basis of the analysis of residues and other statistical parameters. Accordingly, ML, ML2, MLH and ML2H for both Co(II) and Cu(II) and ML2 and ML2H for Ni(II) mononuclear chemical models were obtained. The stabilization/destabilization equilibria of the binary system for the model species with percentage composition of micelles at constant ionic strength and temperature could be attributed to dielectric constant and other intrinsic interaction properties of tetrabutylammonium bromide micelle with ligands and metal ions. The plot of percentage of species against pH values has been generated from SIM refined data using origin85 software.

The flagellated protozoan Giardia lamblia has been grown only in highly complex media under reduced oxygen tension. Therefore, the organic and physiological requirements for in vitro attachment and short-term (12-h) survival of this organism were determined. In defined maintenance media, a thiol reducing agent (e.g., cysteine) was absolutely required for attachment and survival of this aerotolerant anaerobe. The crude bovine serum Cohn III fraction greatly stimulated attachment and survival. Attachment was decreased at a reduced temperature (24 degrees C as compared with 35.5 degrees C) and absent at 12 degrees C or below. Attachment and survival were strongly dependent upon pH and ionic strength, with optima at pH 6.85 to 7.0 and 200 to 300 mosmol/kg. Sodium chloride was better tolerated than KC1. Reduction of Ca2+ and Mg2+ to below 10(-8) M did not significantly affect attachment.
