Expert Solution
Introduction:

Proteins are built up of amino acids, which are made up of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen, as well as the side chain or R group. Because each amino acid's sidechain or R group is different, the amino acids can be distinguished.

A pH at which an amino acid donates or accepts hydrogen ions is referred to as pKa. Lower pKa refers to strong acid and the ability to donate hydrogen ions.
