Complex formation between copper(II) and arginine in two ionic media and in a large range of reagent concentration
Arginine and copper(II) play an important role in human physiology. Arginine is a precursor of NO which is a vasodilator
and the right quantity of copper(II), bound to several amino acids, is necessary for the human body. The complex formation
between copper(II) and arginine is studied at 25 °C and in two different ionic media: 1.00 mol dm−3 NaClO4
and 1.00 mol dm−3 NaCl. The investigation is carried out potentiometrically, by employing in 1.00 mol dm−3 NaClO4
