![Analyze each item carefully and write your complete solution.
Tyrosine came from the Greek word "tyros" which is the Greek word for cheese as it
was discovered in cheese by Justus von Liebig, a German chemist in 1846. Tyrosine
serves as the precursor for dopamine - the neurotransmitter which is considered as
the "reward or pleasure molecule" in our brain. It is also involved in controlling the
fine motor movement of our muscles such as those of our hands . Draw the titrimetric
profile of tyrosine and calculate its isoelectric pH. [ Note: The aromatic hydroxyl group
is titratable]](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F85dc2a18-acc9-41e4-ba93-3c9a5ce89c2a%2F7eee028c-fabc-4ba9-bccc-11a20c458ce6%2Fg35toik_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
