Alcohols do not normally behave as acids in water, but the presence of a double bond adjacent to the OH group can substantially decrease the pK a by the mechanism of keto–enol tautomerism. Ascorbic acid is an example of this effect. The diketone 2,4-pentanedione (acetylacetone) is also a weak acid because of the keto–enol equilibrium.
In computational biology, protein pK a calculations are used to estimate the pK a values of amino acids as they exist within proteins.These calculations complement the pK a values reported for amino acids in their free state, and are used frequently within the fields of molecular modeling, structural bioinformatics, and computational biology.
In chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmacology, a dissociation constant (K D) is a specific type of equilibrium constant that measures the propensity of a larger object to separate (dissociate) reversibly into smaller components, as when a complex falls apart into its component molecules, or when a salt splits up into its component ions.
In chemistry and biochemistry, the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation = + ([] []) relates the pH of a chemical solution of a weak acid to the numerical value of the acid dissociation constant, K a, of acid and the ratio of the concentrations, [] [] of the acid and its conjugate base in an equilibrium.
A person then dips skewered fruit into the mixture, encasing it in the sugar. Once it dries, it creates a glass-like coating. While tanghulu was popular this year, doctors warned that hot sugar ...
In cell biology, protein kinase A (PKA) is a family of serine-threonine kinase [1] whose activity is dependent on cellular levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP). PKA is also known as cAMP-dependent protein kinase (EC 2.7.11.11). PKA has several functions in the cell, including regulation of glycogen, sugar, and lipid metabolism.
From January 2008 to April 2011, if you bought shares in companies when John T. Dillon joined the board, and sold them when he left, you would have a 40.1 percent return on your investment, compared to a -7.6 percent return from the S&P 500.
From September 2008 to December 2012, if you bought shares in companies when Gérard R. Vittecoq joined the board, and sold them when he left, you would have a -69.7 percent return on your investment, compared to a 17.5 percent return from the S&P 500.
