Students have asked these similar questions
Why is the side chain Pka of amino acid so much higher ?
Arginine has these pKa values: pka1 for the carboxyl group = 2.17, pKa2 for the amino group = 9.04, and pKaR for the side chain - 12.48
At pH 7, which groups in arginine are protonated?
amino and side chain
OB. none
Oc ll
OD. carboxyl and side chain
O E. side chain only
3. Pepsin cleavage of the peptide
Ala-His-Gly-Trp-Val-lle-Arg-Gly
would yield the peptides Ala-His-Gly-Trp and Val-Ile-Arg-Gly.
4. Argininosuccinate synthetase converts citrulline and aspartate into
argininosuccinate.
