Complexation and Protein Binding [Part-2](Method of analysis, Complexation and drug action )

This document discusses various methods for analyzing complexes, including continuous variation (Job's) method, distribution method, solubility method, pH titration method, and spectroscopy. The continuous variation method analyzes changes in physical properties like dielectric constant when complexes form to determine stoichiometric ratios. The distribution method examines how the distribution of a solute between immiscible liquids changes with complexation to estimate stability constants. The solubility method observes whether solubility increases or decreases with the addition of a complexing agent. pH titration is reliable for complexes that affect pH upon formation. Spectroscopy techniques like UV and NMR are also used to determine rate constants and equilibrium constants.
