The interaction between S-adenosyl- l-methionine (AdoMet) and sodium poly(styrene sulfonate) (NaPSS) was studied by means of ultrafiltration and ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy at several pH values and sodium sulfate concentrations. The results obtained are interpreted mainly in terms of electro...
