35. What is the approximate pl for the peptide MEKVDRP. Because this is a peptide, assume the pka for
the amino terminus is 9.0 and the pka for the carboxyl terminus is 3.5.
a. 4.5
b. 6.5
c. 7.5
d. 9.5
pka's are 3.5 (C-terminus), 4.0 (Glutamic Acid), 3.9 (Aspartic Acid), 9.0 (N-terminus), 10.5 (Lysine), 12.5
(Arginine)
There are 3 bases and 3 acids. Therefore the, pl will be the average of the internal acid and base pka's.
Roughly, 3.5 and 3.9 cancel with 10.5 and 12.5. The remaining. are 4.0 (Glutamic Acid) and 9.0 (N-
terminus). Average is about 6.5
