- Based on their acid dissociation constants (pKa), seleneous^([sic]) acid (H2SeO3) and selenic acid (H2SeO4) are anionic under common environmental conditions [48], e.g., as selenite (SeO32−) and selenate (SeO42−).2015, Lenny H.E.

- Inspection of CD data reveals that, similar to previously reported data for megainin^([sic]) peptides [ 33 ], preference of α-helical conformation of TM2 and TM3 segments are different in anionic (SDS) and zwitterionic (DPC) media, reflecting the importance of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions between the peptides and micelles.2015 August 20, Amrita Roy Choudhury et al., “Structural Model of the Bilitranslocase Transmembrane Domain Supported by NMR and FRET Data”, in PLoS ONE, volume 10, →DOI:
