Summary Introduction

To predict: The pI for pepsin proteins.

Introduction:

Isoelectric point (pI) refers to the pH at which the net charge of a molecule becomes zero or the molecule becomes electrically neutral.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The functional groups that must be present to confer this pI on pepsin.

Introduction:

Isoelectric point (pI) refers to the pH at which the net charge of a molecule becomes zero or the molecule becomes electrically neutral.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The amino acids in proteins that would contribute the functional groups.

Introduction:

Amino acids are the monomer units of proteins. These are basically organic compounds consisting of a carboxylic group (-COOH-) and an amino group (-NH2). Along with these functional groups, a side chain (R group) is also present in all the amino acids.
