The isoelectric point (pI) or isoelectric pH, is the pH where the amino acid is evenly balanced between the two forms, as the dipolar zwitterion with a net charge of zero. Given the pI of histidine is pH 7.6, give the structure of the predominant form of histidine at pH values: (a) 1 (b) 4 (c) 7.6 (d) 11 [4 marks]
$p K_{a}$ values for Alanine is $2.3$ and 9.7. Alanine would exist as a cation at pH equal to (A) $2.3$ (B) 6 (C) $9.7$ (D) 12
