Summary Introduction

To determine: Equilibrium equations for three ionizations of histidine and assign pKa value for each ionization state.

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.

(a2)

Summary Introduction

To draw: Histidine structure in each ionization state.

Introduction: Histidine is a basic amino acid with lysine and arginine. Histidine consists of three ionizable groups. These are α-amino group, α-carboxylic acid group, and side chain amino group.

(a3)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The net charge on histidine molecule in each ionization state.

Introduction:

Histidine is a basic amino acid along with lysine and arginine. Histidine consists of three ionizable groups. These are α-amino group, α-carboxylic acid group, and side chain amino group.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To draw: The structures of histidine at pH 1, 4, 8, and 12.

Introduction:

pH is defined as the negative of base 10 logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration. It is a scale to determine the nature of an aqueous solution; acidic or alkaline.

(c1)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The net charge of histidine at pH 1, 4, 8, and 12.

Introduction:

pH is defined as the negative of base 10 logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration. It is a scale to determine the nature of an aqueous solution; acidic or alkaline.

(c2)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether histidine would migrate towards anode or cathode in an electric field for each pH.

Introduction:

pH is defined as the negative of base 10 logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration. It is a scale to determine the nature of an aqueous solution; acidic or alkaline.

Would the following organic synthesis occur in one step? Add any missing products, required catalysts, inorganic reagents, and other important conditions. Please include a detailed explanation and drawings showing how the reaction may occur in one step.
This organic molecule is dissolved in an acidic aqueous solution: OH OH A short time later sensitive infrared spectroscopy reveals the presence of a new C = O stretch absorption. That is, there must now be a new molecule present with at least one C = O bond. In the drawing area below, show the detailed mechanism that could convert the molecule above into the new molecule.
