Amino acids, such as glycine, are the key buidling blocks of proteins. At the pH of the stomach, glycine exists predominantly in a protonated form in which there are two acidic protons of interest. The pka values for these protons are shown. Using this information, draw the form of glycine that will predomniate at physiological pH of 7.4. Include lone pairs and formal charges.
