An electrophoresis experiment is performed with a sample containing the amino acid derivative shown. The pKa of the carboxylic acid group is 2.4, the pKa of the protonated amine group is 9.6, the pKa of the side chain as shown is 3.8. Describe where the amino acid derivative will migrate depending on the properties of the buffer used. Make a sound and complete argument to defend your response.

N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-N'-(2-ethanesulfonic A purified protein is in a Hepes acid) buffer at pH 7 with 375 mM NaCl. A dialysis membrane tube holds a 2.0 mL sample of the protein solution. The sample tube floats in a beaker containing 1.00 L of the same Hepes buffer, but with 0 mM NaCl, for dialysis. Small molecules and ions (such as Na+, Cl, and Hepes) can to diffuse across the dialysis membrane, but the protein cannot. Assume there are no sample volume changes during the dialysis. Calculate the final concentration of NaCl in the protein sample once the dialysis has come to equilibrium. Calculate the final NaCl concentration in the 2.0 mL protein sample after dialysis in 150 mL of the same Hepes buffer, with 0 mM NaCl, twice in succession. [NaC1] after a single dialysis: [NaCl] after a double dialysis: x10' TOOLS mM mM
A student added a total of 75 mL sodium hydroxide to titrate an amino acid solution with 0.5M NaOH. They also calculated that they added a total of 14 mL of sodium hydroxide to arrive at pH 2.6 and a total of 32 mL of sodium hydroxide to arrvive at pH 4.8.What was the initial concentration of the amino acid solution in milimolar (mM)? The calculations must be presented such that those can be recapitulated by the marker. Provide the answer with no decimal places. Show all details of your working out. State the answer in a full sentence.

4. Proteases are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in proteins. The enzyme trypsin is a protease that specifically hydrolyzes only those peptide bonds that are formed by the carboxyl group of basic amino acid residues. Trypsin is present in the small intestine where it functions at an optimum pH of 8. Consider the pentapeptide Phe-His-Val-Lys-Glu. Draw the structures of the products formed from trypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis of this peptide.
The isoelectric point (pl) can best be calculated by: Averaging the sums of all pkas. Averaging the sum of the two pKas closest to physiological pH. Averaging the two pKas "sandwiching" the zwitterionic form. Averaging the two pKas of the alpha-amino and alpha-carboxy groups.
