Tyr 10.5

Lys 10.5

Arg 12.5

Asp 3.9

Glu 4.1

His 6.0

Cys 8.4

    1. Indicate the approximate net charge of each of these seven R groups at pH 7.4.
    1. Indicate the approximate net charge of each of these seven amino acids at pH 7.4. Note: remember the carboxyl and the alpha-amino group in addition to the ionizable (acidic or basic) R residue.
    1. Answer “a”, “b” and “c” by writing the chemical structure of each amino acid at the specified (7.4) pH and indicate the charged state of each group.

    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...
