Buffers are substances that maintains the PH of a medium by donating or accepting protons. Amino acids can act as buffers due to the presence of ionizable carboxyl and amino groups. Some of the amino acids have ionizable R groups along with the alpha amino and carboxyl groups. pKa1, pKa2, and pKa3 are the pKa values of alpha carboxyl, alpha amino, and R group respectively.
