Which of the following is a challenge to understanding how the carboxylation of glutamate side chains is feasible in a biological setting?
1. Because the pKa of the a-hydrogen of glutamate is 27, it is too high to be effectively deprotonated at physiological pH.
2. The C-C bond formed in a 1,3-dicarboxylate is too weak to exist in a biological setting.
3. b-Dicarboxylic acids spontaneously decarboxylate at neutral pH.
4. Both 1 and 3.
