All amino acids have two ionizable functional groups: an α‑amino group (average p?a of 9.4) and an α‑carboxylic acid group (average p?a of 2.2). Aspartic acid has an ionizable side chain (R group) with a p?a of about 3.8. One of the possible ionization states of aspartic acid is shown in the image. The protonated form of the R group of aspartic acid is shown in the structure. The ratio of the protonated form to the charged (deprotonated) form depends on the p?a of the R group and the pH of the solution. Select all the pH values at which the charged form of the R group would predominate.
