pKa, the acid dissociation constant, is a key property that affects drug solubility, stability and bioavailability. In the study of DNA and RNA drugs, pKa analyses of these oligonucleotide drugs are particularly important, and these analyses include determining the pH value of the drug when it is present in both ionised and non-ionised forms.
