Abstract
Titration calorimetric and UV absorption spectroscopy measurements have been performed to study the interactions of some L-α-amino acids with D-glucose in dilute aqueous solutions. The obtained results showed that the ability of L-α-amino acids to form intermolecular complexes with D-glucose in aqueous solution is affected by the size and nature of their side chains.
