Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Following forms of Lysine would predominate at low
Concept introduction:
Many amino acids are linked together through amide bonds to form a biologically large molecule known to be proteins.
Amino functional group is
Zwitterion has both positive as well as negative charge, thus it is also called neutral dipolar ion.
Zwitterion ion accepts proton in acidic condition and in basic condition Zwitterion lose electrons.
