Aspartic acid has a side chain bearing a carboxylic acid group; its pKa is 4. The a-amino and a-carboxylic groups have pKa values similar to those of alanine. Determine the net charge on an aspartic acid molecule at the following pH values: (for additional ungraded practice, see if you can identify which of the curves from the previous question correspond to Aspartic acid) pH = 1 pH = 2.5 pH = 4 +2 +1 0 pH = 9 -1 pH = 13 -2
