Which of the following is true about amino acids with isoelectric point around pH 10?

a. the side chain must be acidic

b. the side chain must be basoc

c.the side chain must be polar

d. the side chain must be non polar

e. none of these

Solutions

Expert Solution

answer : b. the side chain must be basic

at pH 10 means the amino acid is present at basic medium.

in basic medium amino acid exist as negative ion. here two ends of amino acid both (NH2) and (COO-) can act as base .

at pH =10 amino acid --------------- H2N ----- CHR----- COO-

(Basic end) (basic end)

To calculate the isoelectric point of amino acids having other ionizable functional groups, we must also take into account the pKa of the additional functional group in the side chain. For an acidic amino acid (one with an additional acidic OH group): For a basic amino acid (one with an additional basic NH group): pI = pKa ( α -COOH) + pKa (side COOH) 2 pI = pKa ( α -NH3+) + pKa (side NH) 2 Indicate which pKa values...

The isoelectric point (pI) of a peptide is the pH at which the peptide does not migrate in an electric field. Since the peptide is zwitterionic, there are the same number of positive charges as negative charges on the peptide population. The pI can be estimated fairly accurately (within 0.1 or 0.2 pH units) from the pK values of all the proton dissociable groups in the peptide. Using pK values from the table at the right, estimate the pI value...
