ABSTRACT This review is focused on the theoretical and computational methods for determination of protonation/deprotonation equilibria in proteins. Two main issues are considered. The first one is the description of the irregular (non-sigmoid) ionisation curves of individual titratable groups of proteins when their protonation/deprotonation equilibria are coupled. The second one is the role of conformational flexibility in ionisation equilibria of the titratable groups.
