The comparative interaction of Mgz+ and Ca2+ counterions on carboxyl groups of polygalacturonic acid is developed. Ultracentrifugation, conductimetry, potentiometry, and CD were used in this work. Evidence is provided for a simple electrostatic interaction of Mg*+ counterions; on the opposite side, cooperative interaction of Ca2+ counterions is again demonstrated, causing chain-chain association. 0
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
