M. Jurkiewiczherbich et al., THE ADSORPTION OF AMINO-ACIDS FROM AQUEOUS-SOLUTIONS - SURFACE AND INTERFACIAL BEHAVIOR OF TYROSINE AND SERINE, Colloids and surfaces. A, Physicochemical and engineering aspects, 131(1-3), 1998, pp. 315-324
Adsorption of tyrosine and serine at the Hg/solution and air/solution
interface was studied by means of differential capacity and surface te
nsion measurements. In the case of Hg/solution interface, the experime
ntal data were analysed to obtain the surface excess and adsorption pa
rameters as a function of the electrode charge density and the bulk co
ncentration of the adsorbate. In the case of the free surface, only qu
alitative analysis was provided due to very small adsorption effects a
t this interface. The role of the pi electrons of the benzene ring in
the adsorption process is discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
