In an aqueous soln of pH = 7, a peptide containing 1 amino gp side chain and 2 carboxyl gp side chains would have which of the following net charges:

1.+2
2.+1
3.0
4.-1
5.-2

ans is 4. -1..can some explain how its calculated.

thanks

hi
amino grp is basic so +ve and carboxyl is negative
so -2+(+1) is -1
hope it helps.

ANd at that particular ph, no H is lost from the Cooh and no H's are added tot he h2N
🙂
Just something extra there for you

so what could b the charge on glutamic acid at ph 1

plz explain

hi!
it will be -ve.
its an acidic aminoacid
👍

ya taht is tru but ans given r +1, -1 , -2,0
so is it -1 or -2
plx explain
thanks

thanks for the answer..but will the charge be the same if the ph is acidic or alkaline???

hi
amino grp is basic so +ve and carboxyl is negative
so -2+(+1) is -1
hope it helps.
