Retardation of calcium oxalate formation by polyacidic peptides.
The polycarboxylic amino acids were examined as possible retarding agents in the precipitation of calcium oxalate. The effect was observed by continuous determination of the concentration of calcium ions in a mimic urine solution. Both polyglutamic and polyaspartic acids, when used in 5 to 100 ppm concentrations, significantly retarded calcium oxalate precipitation.
