A “user's guide” to InsP₆ in the presence of calcium and magnesium. The solubility behaviour of InsP₆, as predicted by the equilibrium equations reported in this work and in [25], in the presence of Mg²⁺ (a-c) or Ca (d-g), is plotted for different pH values; plots for the Mg²⁺ system at basic pH values (above pH 7.5) are identical to that shown for pH 7.5. The “frontier lines” drawn correspond to conditions in which either 1% or 99% of InsP₆ present is predicted to exist as a solid. Predictions were obtained by means of the HySS software, and are valid for I = 0.15 M NaClO₄ and 37.0° C. In addition, the validity of the predictions may be limited by the potential precipitation, at high InsP₆ concentrations, of salts containing Na⁺, Na⁺/Ca²⁺ or Na⁺/Mg²⁺, which have not been studied.
