“…always obey the classical relations between pH, pK, ionic strength, and activity coefficients; the phenomena may be explained by the assumption that proteins combine reversibly not only with H+ and OH-ions, but also with simple anions or cations such as Cl-or Ca++. Such may be inferred from specific ion effect on titration curves (17,18) and on electrophoretic mobility (19,20) of proteins, and on the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen (21). Binding of sulfonamides, therefore, introduces no new principle.…”
