Understanding Acids, Bases, and Buffers in Medical Biochemistry
Biologically important molecules, such as acids and bases, have significant roles in metabolism. Strong acids like hydrochloric acid ionize completely, while weak acids and bases play crucial regulatory roles. The Bronsted-Lowry theory defines acids as proton donors and bases as proton acceptors. Eq
