The micelle is formed at pH higher than pKa of block copolymer while it is not formed at lower pH.

Lower pHs increase the amount of HA that can be absorbed, but also come with increased irritation and without time-release properties.A product that has a pH higher than the recommended range will still work, just not as well (and possibly so poorly that it won’t have any effect). A ...
If there is more acid, the log of a fraction is negative, so the pH will be smaller than the pKa, and if there is more base, the log is positive, leading to a higher pH than the pKa. To get practice using the buffer solution equation, the HF/F− buffer solution has a pKa ...
The lower thepH, the higher the concentration of hydrogen ions [H+]. The lower the pKa, the stronger the acid and the greater its ability to donate protons. The pH depends on the concentration of the solution. This is important because it means a weak acid could actually have a lower p...
we can predict whether a molecule will be protonated or deprotonated based on the connection between its pka and the ph of its solution. the molecule will be deprotonated if the ph is higher than the pka. q4 is pka the same as ph? it is important to remember that when the ph equals ...
As a result, the calculated pKa’s of Asp164 from the simulations initiated from the earlier crystal structure are 0.8/1.6 units higher than the pKa from the simulation based on the recent crystal structure, because of the significant deviation between the two structures in this region (Fig. ...
On the contrary, when the ambient pH is higher than the value of pKa(PMAA), the grafted PMAA brushes swell and the resistance for trans-membrane mass-transfer is low; consequently, the enzymatic reaction in the capsule is in the active state due to the high permeability of substrates and ...
This can also be explained by the pKa of the ammonium ion as a weak acid, which is 9.2 [47]. At a pH higher than this pKa, the concentration of FA is greater than the concentration of NH4+ ions, which is preferable for ammonia stripping. Increasing the liquid phase pH (generally in...
Next we assayed activ- ity of LLO and Y406A at different pH values at room temperature and noticed significant loss of activity in Y406A at pH values higher than 6.5. At lower pH values the Y406A mutant still shows significant hemolytic activity, comparable to the wild-type protein (Fig...
pKa: Ka is the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of an acid. We often express it as the negative log, or pKa. A lower pKa corresponds with a higher dissociation, and as a result, typically means higher acidity (it is more likely to give up its protons). ...
