GABA, gamma-aminobutyric acid, also known as "the calming chemical", is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that blocks certain nerve signals in the brain to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress. In the cell, GABA is generated from one of the twenty natural proteinogenic amino acids through decarboxylation catalyzed by a decarboxylase enzyme. What is this precursor amino acid?

Calculate the electrostatic force of repulsion for two protons separated by 93.0 pm. The charge of a proton is q = 1.6 x 10-1⁹ C. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Fel = μA 2.7.10 6 Submit N Previous Answers Request Answer ? X Incorrect; Try Again; 5 attempts remaining Use the equation Fel = K(Q₁ Q₂/d²) to find the electrostatic force between the two particles. Q₁ and Q2 are the charges on the particles (charge of a proton here), and d is the distance of separation. The constant is given in the introduction and has the units Nm²/C². This means that the distance must be converted from picometers to meters using the relation 1 pm = 1 × 10¯ m. -12
