The association constants for complexing of cobalt with glycine, alanine, asparagine and arginine havebeen obtained from glass electrode measurements by Bjerrum’s method. The differencebetween the results for arginine and alanine can be successfully treated by the Kirkwood-Westheimer theory on the basis of the electrostatic influence of the positively-charged guanidine group of arginine. The data for asparaginecannot be explained in this way, and indicate that the structure of the chelating group (HzN-CHR-COO~) in this molecule is abnormal. There is an appreciable difference between the association constants for glycine and those for alanine, for which no obvious explanation exists.Numerous studies havebeen made comparing the affinity of related substances for hydrogen ion. It has been found that the majority of the results can be satisfactorily explained by the Kirkwood-Westheimer theory3 involving electrostatic inter-action between charged or dipolar substituents and the reacting proton. In the present paper an attempt is made to extendthis treatment to the affinity of four amino-acids, all containing the chelating group H2N-CHR-COO~ for cobaltous ion.
