  2. Acid dissociation constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_dissociation_constant

    Pauling's second rule is that the value of the first pK a for acids of the formula XO m (OH) n depends primarily on the number of oxo groups m, and is approximately independent of the number of hydroxy groups n, and also of the central atom X. Approximate values of pK a are 8 for m = 0, 2 for m = 1, −3 for m = 2 and < −10 for m = 3. [28]

  3. Base excess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_excess

    A base deficit (i.e., a negative base excess) can be correspondingly defined by the amount of strong base that must be added. A further distinction can be made between actual and standard base excess: actual base excess is that present in the blood, while standard base excess is the value when the hemoglobin is at 5 g/dl.

  4. Bicarbonate buffer system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicarbonate_buffer_system

    pK a H 2 CO 3 is the negative logarithm (base 10) of the acid dissociation constant of carbonic acid. It is equal to 6.1. [HCO − 3] is the concentration of bicarbonate in the blood [H 2 CO 3] is the concentration of carbonic acid in the blood

  5. Acid–base homeostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid–base_homeostasis

    pH is the negative logarithm (or cologarithm) of molar concentration of hydrogen ions in the extracellular fluid. pK a H 2 CO 3 is the cologarithm of the acid dissociation constant of carbonic acid. It is equal to 6.1. [HCO − 3] is the molar concentration of bicarbonate in the blood plasma.

  6. Protein pKa calculations - Wikipedia

    In practice, it can be difficult to obtain statistically converged and accurate protonation free energies from titration curves if x is close to a value of 1 or 0. In this case, one can use various free energy calculation methods to obtain the protonation free energy [15] such as biased Metropolis MC, [24] free-energy perturbation, [25] [26 ...

  7. Henderson–Hasselbalch equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henderson–Hasselbalch...

    Carbon dioxide, a by-product of cellular respiration, is dissolved in the blood. From the blood it is taken up by red blood cells and converted to carbonic acid by the carbonate buffer system. Most carbonic acid then dissociates to bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. One of the buffer systems present in the body is the blood plasma buffering system.

  8. Contact activation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_activation_system

    The two arms of the contact system. PKa's cleavage of HK liberates BK and promotes inflammation. FXIIa's cleavage of FXI initiates coagulation. In the contact activation system or CAS, three proteins in the blood, factor XII (FXII), prekallikrein (PK) and high molecular weight kininogen (HK), bind to a surface and cause blood coagulation and ...

  9. Phosphate-buffered saline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphate-buffered_saline

    Phillips et al. reported ∆H 0 at 25 °C of 760 cal/mol (3180 J/mol) and a linear dependence of pK a 0 on 1/T (Van 't Hoff equation). The positive ∆H 0 results in an increase in K a , and thus a decrease in p K a 0 with rising temperature, the change in pKa 0 being 166 × the change in (1/ T ), which around 25 °C results in a change in p K ...
