Abstract
Description
This Memorandum applies the proton condition of inorganic
chemistry to the problem of describing the net
acid content in a biological system. A "proton content"
is defined which expresses the net acid content in terms
of the detailed chemical composition of the system. This
approach is compared with previous approaches to the
quantitative description of acid-base metabolism and then
applied to the interpretation of experimental metabolic
balances.
