we can't tell the charge of lysine at 4.5 because the PKa is not given. we can only know what charge it carries with the PKa value on carboxyl group or amine group.And to know the charge remember when PH is less than PKa it is always 0 while when PH is higher than PKa it is always -1 on carboxyl group. For the amine group it is always +1 as the PKa is always higher than the PH. so for example we have PKa1 2.19 PKa 5.2 for caboxyl group and 9.67 For amino group. to deter mine the charge is on pka1 the charge -1 because PH4.5 is higher than the pka,while on pka 2 the charge is 0 as PH 4.5 is lower than PKa.while for amine group it is + 1 because PKa is higher than PH4.5 so there the charge on lysine will be calculated -1+0+1=0. that's how i understand it

Positive

pH above amino acid pI, zwitterion will carry net negative (-) charge. at pH below pI, zwitterion will carry net positive (+) charge. depending on the amino acid, some have more than one acidic or basic functional group. such functional groups can make the amino acid vary in net charge from 2- to 2+ if not more.

Tyrosine is an amino acid with a pKa around 10.5 for the side chain. At pH 4, the side chain of tyrosine would be protonated and have a positive charge.

What charge to hydrophobic amino acids have at pH6?

Most hydrophobic amino acids like alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan do not have charged side chains at neutral pH (pH 6). Their side chains are usually non-polar, so they do not contribute to any charge on the amino acid at pH 6.


What charge does pH 4 have?

Plus charge, ie, it has H3O^+ ions (hydronium ions)


What is the charge of phosphate?

The charge of phosphate is -3. This is because phosphate has five oxygen atoms, each with a charge of -2, and one phosphorus atom with a charge of +5, making the overall charge of phosphate -3.


The pI of a lysozyme is 11. What is the pH range in which the overall charge of the lysozyme is positive?

The overall charge of a protein is positive when the pH is below the pI (isoelectric point). For lysozyme with a pI of 11, the pH range in which its overall charge is positive would be below pH 11.


What is the charge on the perchlorate anion?

The pH depends on the concentration (how much is dissolved in a given volume of water) Since it is a strong monoprotic acid the pH equals the negative logarithm of its molar concentration. A 1M solution has a pH of 0 a .1M solution has a pH of 1 and so on until a pH of about 7.


Is Tyrosine and L Tyrosine the same thing?

Yes.


Net charge of histidine in pH 1 3 5 11?

pK1 = 2.3, pKr = 6, pK2 = 9.7 (all approximate) at physiological pH, histidine has no net charge. at pH 1, below all pKas and charge is +2 at pH 3, amine group proton pops off, so +1 charge at pH 5, still below 6 and above 2.3 so +1 charge if had pH above 6, for instance... at pH of 8 net charge is zero, or neutral... such that it is neutral at physiological pH (a bit above a pH of 7) at pH 11, exceeds all pKas of amine, acid group, and R group. So net charge of -1 amine deprotonation, carboxylic acid deprotonation, and R group deprotonation happen pH 11 because it exceeds all pKs


How many amino acids are in tyrosine?

Tyrosine is an amino acid.


What is the net charge of phosphatidylserine at pH 6.0?

At pH 6.0, the net charge of phosphatidylserine is -1. This is because the phosphate head group is negatively charged and would be deprotonated at this pH, contributing a net charge of -1 to the molecule.


What is the codon for tyrosine?
