6. Using the charges you calculated above, plot the characteristics of alanine over a range of pH
values. Connect the points by estimating what the charge should be at pH values where you
lack data. It is possible to calculate the charge at any pH, but if you understand the
relationships presented here you will be able to make estimates quickly and easily.
