How do you determine the reactivity of an amino acid group? How would I compare them?
Homework Answers
The amino acid can act both as a acid and a base.Thus it can exist as a zwitter ion in some pH values.
If an acid reacts then it takes up H+ by COOH part and becomes positive if if base is added then it removes H+ making it negative.
In both the cases amino acid maintains the pH of the solution altered.
The different reactivities are compared by the R groups and effects that are linked in the side chain.
