Determination of dissociation constants via quantitative mass spectrometry

Determination of the acid dissociation constants of the p-sulphonato-calix[4]arene

The acid dissociation constants of the hydroxyl groups in 25, 26, 27, 28-tetrahydroxy-5, 11, 17, 23-tetrasulphonic-calix[4]arene (SC4) were determined at 25οC by a combination of potentiometric and spectrophotometric titration method. The first and second acid dissociation constants (pKa1, pKa2) were found to be 3.19 and 12.1, which demonstrated pKa shift due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding ...

First Principles Determination of Dissociation Rate Constants

Corrole isomers: intrinsic gas-phase shapes via traveling wave ion mobility mass spectrometry and dissociation chemistries via tandem mass spectrometry.

Corrole and four of its isomers with subtle structural changes promoted by exchange of nitrogen and carbon atoms in the corrole ring have been studied by traveling wave ion mobility mass spectrometry and collision induced dissociation experiments. Significant differences in shapes and charge distributions for their protonated molecules were found to lead to contrasting gas phase mobilities, mos...

Multiwavelength spectrophotometric determination of acid dissociation constants of ionizable drugs.

A multiwavelength spectrophotometric approach has been developed to determine acid dissociation constants (pKa values) of sparingly soluble drug compounds. UV absorption spectra of the drug solution are acquired using a versatile device based on a fiber optics dip probe, a light source and a photodiode array (PDA) detector while the PH and the ionic strength of the chemical system is manipulate...

NMR methods for the determination of protein-ligand dissociation constants.

This article is a review with 83 references of the application of NMR to the measurement of the dissociation constants of protein-ligand complexes. After briefly discussing some general concepts of molecular stability, the text turns to consider which NMR parameters are reporters of complex formation. The available data treatments required to translate observed NMR effects into quantitative mea...
