The globular proteins refer to the shape of protein specifically spherical in nature apart from spherical form fibrous, disordered and membrane-bound proteins exist. These globular proteins are miscible in water and form a colloidal solution rather than …

Dimer

Dimers are basic organic compounds, which are derivates of oligomers. It is formed by the combination of two monomers which could potentially be strong or weak and in most cases covalent or intermolecular in nature. Identical monomers are called homodime…

Dipeptide

A dipeptide is considered a mixture of two distinct amino acids. Since the amino acids are distinct, based on their composition, two dipeptide's isomers can be produced. Various dipeptides are biologically essential and are therefore crucial to industry.

Textbook Question

Chapter 27, Problem 37P

a. Draw the structure of the tripeptide A–A–A, and label the two ionizable functional groups.

b. What is the predominant form of A–A–A at pH = 1 ?

c. The pKa values for the two ionizable functional groups (3.39 and 8.03) differ considerably from the pKa values of alanine (2.35 and 9.87; see Table 29.1). Account for the observed pKa differences.
