  • Title: Effects of Ca(II) ions on Cu(II) ion-phytic acid interactions.
    Author: Champagne ET.
    Journal: J Inorg Biochem; 1987 Sep; 31(1):29-42. PubMed ID: 3694196.
    Abstract:
    In vitro interactions among phytic acid (PA), Cu(II) ions, and Ca(II) ions were examined as functions of PA:Cu(II):Ca(II) molar ratios and pH. Ca(II) ions competed with Cu(II) ions for binding by the soluble phytate species for PA:Cu(II) molar ratios ranging from 10:1 to 1:6 and pH values in the 2.4-5.9 range. At pH values where precipitation occurred, Ca(II) ions potentiated Cu(II) ion binding by the precipitated phytate species for PA:Cu(II) molar ratios of 10:1 to 1:3. At lower PA:Cu(II) molar ratios, Ca(II) ions competed with Cu(II) ions for binding by the precipitated phytate species. Compositions of the precipitated copper-calcium phytates are reported.
