Study Notes

Amino Acid pKa Values

C pKa: 8.18, indicating the pH at which half of the cysteine molecules are deprotonated.
D pKa: 3.65, representing aspartic acid's acidic behavior; it loses a proton in moderately acidic conditions.
E pKa: 4.25, correlates with the protonation state of glutamic acid at physiological pH, affecting enzyme activity.
H pKa: 6, highlights histidine's unique role as a buffer; it can be protonated or deprotonated near physiological pH.
K pKa: 10.53, showcases lysine's basic nature, where it remains protonated at physiological pH values.
Y pKa: 10.07, reflects tyrosine’s ability to act as both an acid and a base, impacting protein interactions.
R pKa: 12.48, indicates arginine's high pKa, demonstrating its strong basicity and significance in enzyme catalysis.
