Potentiometric titration and conformation of synthetic and natural polyelectrolytes

Abstract: From the analysis of the potentiometric titration data of polyelectrolytes, we can obtain the electrostatic free energy of the macromolecules. Therefore, potentiometric titration is a useful experimental procedure to study the conformation and conformational change of macromolecules. A few examples of the application of potentiometric titration to the studies on polypeptides, protein and DNA are discussed. When the potentiometric titration method is not applicable, the numerical solution of the Poisson-Boltzma… Show more

“…As mentioned before two different types of polyions can be considered polyions that i) undergo or ii) do not undergo conformational changes 42. Most polyelectrolytes are water soluble due to the fact that the hydrophobicity of the polymer backbone is overcompensated by the hydrophilic nature of the charged groups.…”
