Question

For the following amino acids: Isoleucine and Tyrosine

a. Draw its complete protonic equilibria. Indicate the net charge of each form and
encircle the zwitterionic form. Provide labels (A, B, C, etc.) for each form.
b. Calculate the IpH of the amino acid.
c. At what pH range(s) it can act as a buffer?
d. What will be the predominant form(s) of the amino acid at pH (i) 1.5; (ii) 3.0; (iii) 4.5;
(iv) 6.0; (v) 7.5 and (vi) 9.0?
