At neutral $\mathrm{pH}$, which of the following amino acids has a net positive charge, which has a net negative charge, and which is neutral? (Hint: Draw the various charged forms of each amino acid before deciding.) (a) Aspartic acid (b) Histidine (c) Valine
Carboxyl and phosphate groups are acidic. If these groups donate protons (H+), what is the net charge of the functional group? Draw both structures in their charged forms below. Conversely, amino groups can act as bases. If an amino group can accept one proton, what should the charge be? Draw the structure in its charged form below. In their charged forms, what new type of interaction can occur between amino and carboxyl groups that was not possible when either group was uncharged?

What are the charges on the amino and carboxyl groups of an amino acid at pH 11? (Hints: Neutral means uncharged. The first part of the answer is the charge on the amino group, the second part is the charge on the carboxyl group.
