Problem Set 1
With the ff. amino acids (alanine, aspartic acid, lysine),
answer the ff:
Draw all ionic forms of the amino acids.
Identify the zwitterion.
What is the net charge of the amino acid when dissolved in
a solution with the following pH:
2.00
4.50
7.40
10.00
Isoelectric pH
Isoelectric pH, pI: the pH at which the majority of molecules of
a compound in solution have no net charge
the pI for glycine, for example, falls midway between the pKa
values for the carboxyl and amino groups
