Textbook Question
Chapter 29, Problem 29.39P
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
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.
