Question
Chapter 4, Problem 26CQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: Whether the human insulin has lower or higher isoelectric point
Concept introduction: Each amino acid has unique ionization characteristics that vary at different pH. Ionizable groups such as amino group, carboxylic group at certain pH remain protonated and when the pH increases, it becomes deprotonated. The isoelectric point is the pH at which net electric charge of a molecule is zero.
