Model 2 The pl of a peptide is determined by examining the ionizable groups. The protonated and unprotonated forms of each ionizable group are in equilibrium. Consider the peptide Lys-Glu-Ser shown below at pH 7.2. The complete structure is on on the left and a stylized structure with just the ionizable groups is on the right. These two structures below represent the same peptide, but with differing levels of detail. The molecule on the right allows one to focus on how ionizable groups could change at different pH values. While the N-terminal is depicted as protonated, a sample of Lys-Glu-Ser is composed of a population of molecules and within that population some molecules may contain a non-protonated N-terminal. pH 7.2. group at H3N CH-CN CH CH CO- H3N+ COO- H pKa=8.5 pKa= 3.5 OH COO- CH2 CH₂ CH₂ NH3+ pKa=10.0 pKa=4.2 CH₂ CH₂ OH CH2 CO CH₂ NH₂+ In the stylized structures below, only one molecule is drawn. However each diagram represents a collection of many molecules. Therefore, "half protonated" implies that half the molecules present are protonated and half are not.
