Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the isoelectric point (pI) of the amino acid given its pK_a1 and pK_a2 values, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Isoelectric Point (pI)**: The isoelectric point is the pH at which the net charge of the amino acid is zero. At this point, the amino acid exists predominantly in its zwitterionic form. 2. **Identify the Given Values**: ...
