Ethyleneimine reacts with cysteine side chains in proteins to form S - aminoethyl derivatives. The peptide bonds on the carboxyl side of these modified cysteine residues are susceptible to hydrolysis by trypsin . Why?
Para-aminobenzoic acid has two ionizable groups. One is a
carboxylic acid that ionizes through loss of a proton thereby forming a charged
para-aminobenzoic acid
carboxylate anion, and the other is an amine connected to
an aromatic (benzene) ring that ionizes by accepting an H+
to form a positively charged ammonium ion.
The pk of the carboxylic acid is 4.9 and the pk of the
amino group is 2.5. Assume that the intracellular pH within a
