Amino Acids
The two acidic amino acids
Aspartic Acid and Glutamic Acid
An amino acid stops at a pH of 4 on an electrophoresis gel. What is the pI?
4
The strongest and most soluble force.
Electrostatic
The first step in solving an ICE table problem
Making the equation, identifying WA and CB
Equation for finding pI
(pKa1 + pKa2)/2
Which amino acids contain aromatic rings?
Phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan, histidine
A perfect buffer contains how much acid and base?
Equal parts of both
The name of the interaction between nonpolar molecules
Van der Waals
Subtract from reactants, add to products
Shortcut for finding pI for acids
Lower two pKas
All of the 6 polar amino acids
Threonine, serine, cysteine, asparagine, tyrosine, glutamine
The Henderson-Hasselbach equation
pH = pKₐ + log([CB]/[WA])
The interaction between an acid and base
electrostatic bonds
A buffer contains equal parts Tris & Tris-H. What would the equation look like if NaOH was added to the buffer?
Tris-H + NaOH → NaTris + H2O
Tris-H is WA
NaTris is CB
When pH>pKa, the proton...
