Part A
Do you predict that this salt bridge will become stronger, become weaker, or be unaffected as pH increases from
pH = 7.2 to pH = 7.8?
O The salt bridge will become stronger.
The salt bridge will become weaker.
The salt bridge will be unaffected.
Submit
✓ Correct
At pH = 7.2 the glutamic acid (Glu) side chain will carry a charge of ~ -1 (at 3 pH units above the pK₂ for
Glu, the side chain will be almost fully ionized); whereas the histidine (His) side chain will carry a charge of <
+0.5 (at pH=pKa the charge on His would be +0.5; since pH = 7.2 is above its pKa, it will carry less (+)
charge as it becomes more deprotonated). As the pH increase to 7.8, the charge on Glu will remain ~ -1 and
the charge on His will decrease; thus, this salt bridge is predicted to become weaker as pH is raised from 7.2
to 7.8.
