it's the avg of pKa1 and pKa2
i.e of the acid part and amino part.
DEPENDS ON DA COMPOUND......
IT IS DA pH at which da compound in question wen treated 2 electrolysis does not drift toward either of the electrodes...... n jus below or beyond that pH it will move towards the respective electrod.......
hope i'm correct this time round [3]
16 out of 20 acids have pH≈7
Aspartic acid ,Glutamic acid have pH≈3
Lysine and Agrinine have pH≈10.........This is the easies way to remeber..........[1]
pI=1/2(pK1+pK2)
They are carboxylic pKa and amine pKa
for amino acid with only one amine and one carboxyl group
hey mathie reply..................what exactly do u want to ask?????[7]
Aspartic acid ,Glutamic acid have pI≈3 they have -ve side chain charge
Lysine,Histidine,Arginine have pI>7 they are +ve
all others are neutrals and are in the range 5 to 6.5
if carboxylic pKa and amine pKa are given then pI can be calculated
