Abstract
Electrophoretic light scattering was used to study the electrophoretic mobility of polylysine as a function of pH in both NaCl and phosphate buffer solutions at an ionic strength of 0.01 M. Results are interpre ted in terms of the counterion condensation theory. It is concluded th at this theory may be qualitatively correct, but its application to th e calculation of the electrophoretic mobility is not yet quantitativel y satisfied.
