	A - Glossary of chemical terms
		The strength of an acid depends on the extent to to which it dissociates, and is measured by its dissociation constant.
		In the Lowry-Brønsted theory of acids and bases (1923), the definition was extended to one in which an acid is a proton donor (a Brønsted acid), and a base is a proton acceptor (a Brønsted base).
		Amino acids are compounds containing both a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) and an amino group (-NH The most important are the a-amino acids, in which the -NH group in attached to the C atom adjacent to the -COOH group.

	Dissociation Summary
		Dissociation may be accomplished by the addition of energy, as in the case of gaseous molecules dissociated by heat; or by the action of a solvent on a polar compound (i.e., electrolytic decomposition).
		Dissociation is a psychological state or condition in which certain thoughts, emotions, sensations, or memories are separated from the rest of the psyche.
		Dissociation most often makes the news with regards to soldiers' responses to wartime stress, rape victims with amnesia for details, and in occasional criminal trials where the question of whether a person with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) can be responsible for his or her actions.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Isoelectric point
		In chemistry and biochemistry, acid dissociation constant, the acidity constant, or the acid-ionization constant () is a specific type of equilibrium constant that indicates the extent of dissociation of hydrogen ions from an acid.
		For amino acids with more than two ionizable groups such as lysine for example, the same formula is used but this time, the two pKa's used are those of the two groups that lose and gain a charge from the neutral form of the amino acid.
		The isoelectric point is the pH at which the negative charge of the component amino acids of a protein equals the positive charge of the component amino acids so the protein is neutral.

	Acid dissociation constant
		In chemistry and biochemistry, the acid dissociation constant, the acidity constant, or the acid-ionization constant (K_a) is a specific type of equilibrium constant that indicates the extent of dissociation of hydrogen ions from an acid.
		The equilibrium is that of a proton transfer from an acid, HA, to water, H₂O. The term for the concentration of water, [H₂O], is omitted from the general equilibrium constant expression.
		Because this constant differs for each acid and varies over many degrees of magnitude, the acidity constant is often represented by the additive inverse of its common logarithm, represented by the symbol pK_a (using the same mathematical relationship as [H⁺] is to pH).

	dissociation — FactMonster.com
		Dissociation is generally reversible; when the atoms or ions of the dissociated substance are returned to the original conditions, they recombine in the original form of the substance.
		The dissociation constant is a measure of the extent of dissociation.
		The dissociation constant is measured at equilibrium, and its value is usually affected by changes in temperature.

	Weak acid K
		The equilibrium constant for this expression is called the acid dissociation constant, K

		For a normal equilibrium constant, the concentration of water would be included in its definition, this is not the case for the acid dissociation constant as, because the reaction takes place in aqueous solution, the change in the concentration of water will be negligable.
		This is because, if you combine the equations for the dissociation of an acid with those of the dissociation of its conjugate base, you always get the reaction for the self-ionization of water.
		Both molecules have the same composition, being two carboxylic acid groups separated by two double-bonded carbon atoms; fumaric acid is the trans isomer, whereas maleic acid is the cis isomer.

		In chemistry and biochemistry, a dissociation constant is a specific type of equilibrium constant that measures the propensity of a larger object to separate (dissociate) reversibly into smaller components, as when a complex falls apart into its component molecules, or when a salt splits up into its component ions.
		The dissociation constant is commonly used to describe the affinity between a ligand (L) (such as a drug) and a protein (P) i.e.
		The dissociation constant has molar units (M), which correspond to the concentration of ligand [L] at which the binding site on a particular protein is half occupied, i.e.

	NTU Info Centre: Acid dissociation constant (Site not responding. Last check: )
		While strong acids dissociate more or less completely in solution and consequently have large acidity constants, weak acids do not fully dissociate and generally have acidity constants significantly less than 1.
		Because this constant differs for each acid and varies over many degrees of magnitude, the acidity constant is often represented by the inverse of its common logarithm, represented by the symbol (similar to the concept of pH, though not related directly).
		The acidity constant for the acid HA is the dissociation constant for this equilibrium.
