Chapter 29, Problem 29.38P

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.
