Amino Acids • Zwitterion - acid and amine react with each other internally.
Amino Acids • -> -> Increasing p. H -> -> • p. H << p. K << p. H • Acids: HA molecular A- ionic • Bases: BH+ ionic B molecular

Amino Acids • • • -> -> Increasing p. H -> -> p. H << p. K << p. H Acids: HA molecular A- ionic Bases: BH+ ionic B molecular Mixture of val p. I = 6; asp p. I = 2. 8, lys p. I = 9. 7 in a buffer at p. H = 6. What is the form of each?
Reactions Amino Acids - Salt Formation • Acid + amine --> salt (acid donates H+ to amine)
