Summary Introduction

To review:

The carboxylic acid group present in a water-free interior of a protein has a higher or lower Ka(acid dissociation constant), than on the surface of the protein.

Introduction:

In biochemistry, acid dissociation constant or Ka is defined as a type of equilibrium constant that measures the tendency of a larger molecule to dissociate reversibly into smaller molecules. Carboxylic acid groupsionize to a lesser extent in water to form moderately acidic solutions. Carboxylic acids have -COOH as the functional group, and a Ka constant of about 10-3  to 10-6 .
