Question
Chapter 2, Problem 19P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for loops on the proteins to be composed of number of hydrophilic amino acids needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The proteins are made up of amino acids joined together. Therefore, amino acids are like building blocks for them. The proteins play an important role in all the biological processes. A huge proportion of our cells, tissue and muscles are made up of the amino acids. Thus, they carry out several significant functions in the body.

Draw the peptide Ala-Glu-Gly-Lys, as it would occur at physiological pH = 7.4. The R groups of Ala and Gly are not acidic or basic, therefore do not have a pka and the charge on these R groups is therefore independent of pH. Glu is acidic and Lys is basic, therefore the charge on these amino acids is pH dependent. The pKas are shown below. pKa N-term = 9.0 C-term = 3.5 Glu4.1 Lys = 10.5 2.
