Sam has three ionizable groups besides the sulfonium pole : the carboxyl and the aminic groups of the amino acidic chain with pk 1 . 8 and 7 . 8 respectively and the aminic group of the purine with pk 3 . 4 . in an acid environment sam is positive charged , so it could be adsorbed by weak - acid cation exchange resin Sam除具有一个带正电荷的锍外,还有三个可离子化的基团: pk _ a分别为1 . 8 、 7 . 8的氨基酸链上的羧基和氨基, pk _ a为3 . 4的嘌呤环上的氨基。
