- resting state of the protein, the Lys 216 Schiff base has pKa = 9.5 and Asp 85 has pKa = 3.5. When the conformational change occurs, the proton that was on the Schiff base moves to Asp 85. This should tell you that one or both of these two pKas changed with the conformational change. How does the pKa of Asp 85 compare with the pKa of the Lys 216 Schiff base after the conformational change?arrow_forwardActivity: Write the line structure of each of the following peptide at pH7 and identify how many peptide bond in each number. 1.
