Question
Chapter 26.3, Problem 4P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The isoelectric point
Concept Introduction:
Isoelectric point of an amino acid is the pH at which it has zero net charge.
It is the average of the two
If an amino acid contains more than two functional groups that can behave as acids, then the isoelectric point is generally the average of the two groups that are not charged in the acid form, or the groups that are most similar acids.
