H. Ghabi et M. Dhahbi, STUDY OF THE POLYASPARAGINE-WATER-OXYANIONS INTERACTIONS, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie IIc, Chimie, 1(10), 1998, pp. 635-641
The studying of the adsorption of polyasparagine (PAg) on a mercury el
ectrode has shown the essential role of the interaction of this polype
ptide with water. The result was an alteration of the capacity of the
distributed layer and that of the potential neutral charge. The studyi
ng of the adsorption of nitrate and phosphate ions in the presence of
PAg has confirmed the change of the structure of water and the hydrati
on of these ions. (C) Academie des sciences/Elsevier, Paris.
