Question
Which has a higher percentage of negative charge at physiological pH (7.4), leucine with pI = 5.98 or asparagine with pI = 5.43?
Step 1
At this pH, the molecule is neutral. For amino acids, this is the pH at which the amino acid is not migrated in an electric field. Show more…

What will be the net charge on a protein with a pI of 6.7 at pH 7.4? positive negative no charge
A mixture of Phenylalanine (pI 5.5) and Histidine (pI 7.6) at pH of 10 is loaded onto an anion exchange column, and eluted with a pH gradient of lowering pH. What order will the amino acids elute and what will be the charges on the amino acids at pH 6.5 and at pH 4.5?
