Abstract

The solubility in most of the amino acids in electrolyte-containing water has a significant role on their solvation thermodynamics, which in turn affects their biophysical actions within the human body. Our current research is focused on the solubility and thermodynamic behaviour of an important amino acid l-Proline, given its diverse range of applications. For l-Proline, the solubility is influenced in distinct ways by various electrolytes. In this work we have reported for the first time the influence of ammonium sulphate [(NH4)2SO4] on the solubility and related transfer thermodynamics for better understanding of solvation characteristics of l-Proline in electrolytic solvent systems. It is found that the presence of polyvalent anion and dissociation character of (NH4)2SO4 control the solubility of l-Proline in both aqueous and electrolytic media which is justified by various thermodynamic parameters.
