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.
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.
