A naturally occurring amino acid such as alanine has a group that is a carboxylic acid and a group that is a protonated amine. a. If the pKa value of a carboxylic acid such as acetic acid is about 5 (see Table 2.1), then why is the pKa value of the carboxylic acid group of alanine so much lower? b. Draw the structure of alanine in a solution at pH = 0. c. Draw the structure of alanine in a solution at physiological pH (pH 7.4). d. Draw the structure of alanine in a solution at pH = 12. e. Is there a pH at which alanine is uncharged (that is, neither group has a charge)? f. At what pH does alanine have no net charge (that is, the amount of negative charge is the same as the amount of positive charge)?
