- Which amino acids could be referred to as derivatives of butanoic acid?arrow_forwardThe pKa for the side chain amino group in lysine is 10.4. If we were working at physiological pH 7.4, what would be the ratio of the protonated to unprotonated versions of lysine? a. 1000:1 b. 3:1 c. 1:1000 d. 1:3arrow_forwardThe peptide Proline-Serine-Alanine-Phenylalanine-Glutamine is present at pH 7. Draw the peptide and include stereochemistry.arrow_forward
- How to identify this amino acid?arrow_forwardDraw all ionic structures for an amino acid under acidic and basic conditions, and identify the zwitterion.arrow_forwardPentapeptide has a sequence of APEDS Structure of pentapeptide in its proper ionization state at pH 7.0 what is the pI of pentapeptide?arrow_forward
- Give the full name of the amino acid and based on the structure of the side chain is it hydrophobic or hydrophilic?arrow_forwardA. Lysine is considered a basic amino acid containing a guanidino group. If all ionizable protons from lysine were deprotonated, what will be the overall charge for the lysine? B. Which of the following is true regarding amino acids? -Leucine and isoleucine have the same molecular mass. -Glycine is a chiral molecule. -Proline is considered to be an ⍺-amino acid. -Lysine (short for L) is a basic amino acid.arrow_forwardDraw Tryptophan in a peptide bond. Explain all of the bonds using valence bond theory (VBT). Next, explain where VBT fails and how molecular orbital theory is a better description of key regions of this amino acid and the peptide bonds it forms with other residuesarrow_forward
