Question
Chapter 21, Problem 3ALQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Interpret the role of protein as buffering agent.
Concept Introduction:
Each amino acid consists of carboxyl end and amino group which are joined through peptide linkage to produce dipeptide, tripeptide and polypeptide according to number of amino acids linked to each other.
Buffer is a solution which resists the change in pH of solution on addition of small amount of acid or base to it. Thus, it regulates the acidity and basicity to make the solution neutral.

The Brusselator. This hypothetical system was first proposed by a group work- ing in Brussels [see Prigogine and Lefever (1968)] in connection with spatially nonuniform chemical patterns.
