Show the location and the type of charge on the tripeptide Gly-Ala-Ser at pH 11.0.
Isoleucine has pKa values of 2.36 and 9.68. Between what pH does isoleucine predominantly exist as a zwitterion?
Amino acid valine has pKa values of 2.32 and 9.62. Determine the pH at which valine would exist in the following form.

What is the predominant structure of tyrosine in solution at pH 4 ?
What are the predominant structures of valine, arginine, and glutamic acid in a solution with pH 3?
Asparagine and lysine both have nitrogen in their side chains, but the side chain of asparagine is non-basic, whereas the side chain of lysine is basic. Explain why the nitrogen in asparagine is more weakly basic than the nitrogen in lysine.
Neotame is a dipeptide ester used as an artificial sweetener. The full hydrolysis of neotame gives N-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol. Treatment with carboxypeptidase enzyme shows no effect on neotame. Edman degradation of neotame gives phenylthiohydantoin derivative of N-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-aspartic acid.Suggest the structure for the neotame.
Provide all the possible protonation states of Lys arranged in increasing pH levels.
Draw a visual representation of Val, Glu, and Arg separated using electrophoresis at pH 6.
