Can carbonic acid protonate biological bases? Support from base protonation in methanol solvent

In separate contributions, we have focussed on demonstrating that carbonic acid (CA) - historically considered too unstable to be a viable protonating agent - is able to protonate several types of pH indicators while behaving as a regular, moderately strong, carboxylic acid. Together with the experi...
