[edit] Amino Acid Stabiliser

I recall reading somewhere that the addition of small quantities of sulfamic acid to amino acid solutions can help stabilise them in order to prevent decomposition during storage or transport. Sadly, I forget the details offhand. Can anyone kindly expand on this further? --Xanthine 18:22, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] weak acid?

am doing a report for uni is sulfamic acid a weak acid?

when you find out, please include your information in the article, with a reference to a book or journal.--Smokefoot 17:07, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unreliable/ambiguous picture?

This may seem pedantic, but the picture showing the normal (unionized) structure and zwitterionic structure may be confusing to some, as they may see it as one whole structure, so I propose it would be better to add a double arrow (equilibrium like) to show that the acid can exist in both of these forms. Anyone agree or am I being silly? --Mark PEA 19:12, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, you make a good point. It could use a pair of equilibrium arrows.--Smokefoot 20:51, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
