Abstract

An analysis is given of the theoretical approach to the quantitative description of proton dissociation curves for weak polyacids. The basic model of the counterion condensation theory has been used, with the modification reported in the preceding study (S. Paoletti, A. Cesàro, C. Arce Samper and J.C. Benegas, Biophys. Chem. 34 (1989) 301). In this paper we demonstrate the effect of relaxing the hypothesis of a rigid conformation on the polyelectrolytic properties of weak polyacids. As an application of the present approach, a description is given of the titration curves for two weak polyacids, poly(DL-glutamic acid) (PDLGA) and poly(L-aspartic acid) (PLAA).
