Document Summary
1: [4] given that pk1 = 2; pk2 = 10; pkr = 4, draw the ionization states and calculate the pi of aspartate. Pi=2+4/2=3 pi = 3: [4] draw the structures of the amino acids phenylalanine and glutamate in the ionization state you would expect at ph 7. 0. Glutamate has a polar (hydrophilic) side chain, which forms hydrogen bonds with water. In contrast, phenylalanine has a nonpolar (hydrophobic) side chain. structures. : [3] a. 2: [4] draw the dipeptide ala-val at ph 7 (be certain to draw all hydrogens). Indicate on your drawing (above) the bond that has limited rotation. Among forces that stabilize native protein structures are: (a) disulfide bonds, (b) hydrogen bonds, (c) hydrophobic interactions, (d) ionic interactions, or (e) water cage. Amino acid examples for a-e: cysteine, b)ser, thr, tyr, gln, asp, glu, lys, arg, his,or asn, c) ala, val, leu,
