The pka of ascorbic acid is 4.2 at 24C. At what pH is the ratio of the deprotonated form to the protonated form 10:1? Prove using the Henderson-Hasselback equation. How to resolve this.
Lysine and tryptophan are two amino acids that contain an additional N atom in the R group bonded to the α carbon. While lysine is classified as a basic amino acid because it contains an additional basic N atom, tryptophan is classified as a neutral amino acid. Explain why this difference in classification occurs.
Refer to the bar graph below, Explain why the n→π* interactions contributes more to the overall stabilization of the protein than all the other interactions(C-H-O hydrogen bond,π-π interactions, C5 Hydrogen Bonds, Cation-π interactions, Sulfur-arene interactions, Anion-π interactions, Chalcogen bonds, X-H-π interactions) even though n→π* is the weaker interaction. Explain why that's the case for EACH of the bonds. I.e Why n→π* interactions contribute more to the overall stabilization of the protein than C-H-O hydrogen bonds, even though n→π* is the weaker interaction. Why n→π* interactions contribute more to the overall stabilization of the protein than π-π interactions even though n→π* is the weaker interaction. Why n→π* interactions contribute more to the overall stabilization of the protein than C5 Hydrogen Bonds, even though n→π* is the weaker interaction.

Of two possible structures A and B for the conjugate acid of guanidine, the more stable is the one that is better stabilized by electron delocalization. Which one is it? Write resonance structures showing this electron delocalization. :NH : ΝΗ +NH2 + H2N NH, NH3 H2ÑN NH, Guanidine A В
All amino acids have two ionizable functional groups: an α‑amino group (average pKa of 9.4) and an α‑carboxylic acid group (average pKa of 2.2). Aspartic acid has an ionizable side chain (R group) with a pKa of about 3.8. One of the possible ionization states of aspartic acid is shown in the image. At what pH would the structure be the predominant ionization state? Consider the ionization state of all three of the functional groups.
Proteins 1 and 2 interact strongly. A significant part of the interaction is between the amino acid side chains shown below. Protein 1= arginine C6H14N402 . Protein 2 = glutamic acid C5H9NO4 A mutation occurs in protein 2 that changes the amino acid shown above to one of the amino acids shown below. What change should disrupt the interaction between proteins 1 and 2 the most? the least? Protein 2- aspartic acid C4H7NO4, protein 2= Lysine C6H14N20 Protein 2= serine C3H7NO3 and protein 2= leucine C6H13NO2 aspartic acid would be the most and leucine would be the least aspartic acid would be the most and serine would be the least lysine would be the most and serine would be the least lysine would be the most and aspartic acid would be the least
