Chapter 2, Problem 2P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The amino acid associated with the hydrophobic side chain needs to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Amino acids are organic compounds with both amino and carboxylic acid groups. The general formula of the amino acid is shown as follows:

NH3CH(R)COOH

Here, R group is different for different amino acids.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The amino acid associated with basic side chain needs to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Amino acids are organic compounds with both amino and carboxylic acid groups. The general formula of the amino acid is shown as follows:

NH3CH(R)COOH

Here, R group is different for different amino acids.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Theamino acid associated with three ionizable group needs to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Amino acids are organic compounds with both amino and carboxylic acid groups. The general formula of the amino acid is shown as follows:

NH3CH(R)COOH

Here, R group is different for different amino acids.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

Theamino acid having pKa of about 10 in proteins needs to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and protein plays a vital role in almost all biological processes. A huge proportion of our cells, tissue and muscles are made up of amino acids, means they carry out several significant bodily functions, like, providing cells their structure.

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation:

The amino acid which is modified form of phenylalanine needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Amino acids are organic compounds with both amino and carboxylic acid groups. The general formula of the amino acid is shown as follows:

NH3CH(R)COOH

Here, R group is different for different amino acids.
