Each ionizable group of an amino acid can exist in one of two states, charged or neutral. The electric charge on the functional
group is determined by the relationship between its pK, and the pH of the solution. This relationship is described by the
Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.
Histidine has three ionizable functional groups. Complete the equilibrium equations by assigning the proper pK, for each
ionization and the net charge on the histidine molecule in each ionization state.
