Question
4)
a) Draw the peptide ASYTL at pH 7 and 12.
b) Draw a Titration Curve for this peptide.
c) If this protein were separated by isoelectric focusing, at what pH would you
expect to find it?
d) Alcohols usually don't behave as a weak acids, but tyrosine does. Explain why Y
ionizes, while S and T do not.
e) Is Y ionization physiologically relevant? Explain.
f)
Y is capable of being phosphorylated by kinases in vivo. What mutation might
you introduce to render Y unphosphorylatable? Constitutively phosphorylated?
