Chapter 19, Problem 19.25E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The equation for the protein that contains both lysine and aspartate and act as a buffer against ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ions is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Amino acids are naturally occurring compounds in which the amino group is present on the alpha carbon of carboxyl group. Peptide linkage is formed between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of other amino acid with the loss of water molecule.
