Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of amino acid leucine at
Concept Introduction:
A neutral amino acid exists in zwitterionic form. A Zwitterions' is a compound which does not have overall electric charge but contains separate part of positive and negative charged. At isoelectric point the overall charge of the amino acid is zero. At low pH i.e. pH
