Chapter 18, Problem 18.59AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Method to increase the zwitterion of aspartic acid more soluble in water has to be identified.

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 (NH2) and carboxyl functional group is (COOH) and a R group is considered as side chain, when all these are bonded to same carbon atom.
  • Zwitterion has both positive as well as negative charge, thus it is also called neutral dipolar ion.
  • Zwitterion accepts proton in acidic condition and in basic condition zwitterion lose electrons.
  • Isoelectric point are the pH which the zwitterion has zero charge.
