In an amino acid the Carboxylic group ionises at
`p^(Ka_(1))=2.40` and Ammonium ion at
`p_(Ka_(2))=9.60` then the isoelectric point is ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`PI=(1)/(2)(Pka_(1)+Pka_(2))=(1)/(2)(2.4+9.69)=(1)/(2)(12)=6`

alpha - amino acids are high melting crystalline solids because of the zwitterion structure. They are moderately soluble in water. In acidic medium, alpha - amino acids exist as cations (I) and thus migrate towards cathode under the influence of an electric field. On the other hand, in alkaline medium, alpha - amino acids exist as anions (III) and thus migrate towards anode under the influence of an electric field. However, at some intermediate value of p^(H) , the concentration of the cationic form (I) and anionic form (III) will become equal and consequently the alpha - amino acid will exist primarily as the neutral dipolar ion (II). At this p^(H) , there would be no net migration of the amino acid in an electric field. This p^(H) at which there is no net migration of the amino acid under the influence of an applied electric field is called isoelectric point (pI). Each amino acid has a characteristic isoelectric point. The pH of an amino acid that does not have an ionisable side chain such as alanine isd average of pK_(a) values of the carboxyl group and the protonated amino group.
