Abstract:

There has been focus upon the study of stability constants of amino acids with metal ions since they processes antibacterial activities. The stability constants of ternary complexes were determined by pH metric analysis in aqueous solution at 25.0 0C between ligands (Mercaprosuccinicacid (MSA), Glycine (GLY), L-Aspartic acid (ASP) and L-Asparagine (ASN)) and some transition metal ions(Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)) in varying Ethylene glycol – water media. The "MINIQUAD75" software tool analysed the potentiometric data to create a complexation model for each system. Based on the calculated equilibrium and stability constants, the most likely binding mechanism for each ternary species was discussed. Their relative stabilities and plausible structures were also proposed.
