Question
Which of the following statements regarding an amino acid with an ionizable side
chain is TRUE?
For glutamic acid, if the side chain is protonated, then the a-carboxyl group must also
be protonated.
None of the answers is correct.
For aspartate, if the a-carboxyl group is protonated, then the side chain is also
protonated.
The pk of the side chain is always lower than the pk of the carboxyl group.
All amino acids with ionizable side chains have charged side chains at physiological pH.
