Bruylants G, Wintjens R, Looze Y, Redfield C, Bartik K
Eur Biophys J . 2007 Apr; 37(1):11-8. PMID: 17443320
Protonation/deprotonation equilibria are frequently linked to binding processes involving proteins. The presence of these thermodynamically linked equilibria affects the observable thermodynamic parameters of the interaction (K(obs), DeltaH(obs)(0) ). In order...
