Neutral Amino Acids
Amino acids which do not have any charge on them are neutral amino acids.
Globular Protein
The globular proteins refer to the shape of protein specifically spherical in nature apart from spherical form fibrous, disordered and membrane-bound proteins exist. These globular proteins are miscible in water and form a colloidal solution rather than other types which might not exhibit solubility. Many classes of the fold are found in globular proteins, which render them a sphere shape. Globular fold containing proteins usually are referred to by the term globin.
Dimer
Dimers are basic organic compounds, which are derivates of oligomers. It is formed by the combination of two monomers which could potentially be strong or weak and in most cases covalent or intermolecular in nature. Identical monomers are called homodimer, the non-identical dimers are called heterodimer. The method by which dimers are formed is known as “dimerization”.
Dipeptide
A dipeptide is considered a mixture of two distinct amino acids. Since the amino acids are distinct, based on their composition, two dipeptide's isomers can be produced. Various dipeptides are biologically essential and are therefore crucial to industry.
What is the predominant form of the following amino acids at pH
= 1? What is the overall charge on the amino acid at this pH?
methionine
Amino acids are organic compounds containing -NH2 and -COOH groups. In neutral pH, the amino acid stays in a zwitter ionic form with no net charge. However, in acidic form, the amino acids get protonated and exist with an overall positive charge while in basic form, the amino acids get deprotonated and exist with an overall negative charge.
The pH at which an amino acid stays in its neutral zwitter ionic form is termed as its Isoelectric point (pI).
