Part A

If you sketch the titration curve for α-melanotropin (SerTyrSerMetGluHisPheArgTrpGlyLysProVal), near what pH values would you expect the curve to exhibit inflections? Assume the pKas of the N- and C-termini are 7.9 and 3.8, respectively. For side chains, assume the pKa values given.

Express your answers as integers from lowest to highest separated by commas.

Part B

Calculate to three decimal places the charge on α-melanotropin at pH value of 11.

Part C

Calculate to three decimal places the charge on α-melanotropin at pH value of 5.

Part D

Calculate to three decimal places the charge on α-melanotropin at pH value of 1.

Part E

Calculate the pI  (isoelectric point) of α-melanotropin.

Table Given

Name Abbreviations 1- and 3-letter pKa of Ionizing Side Chain
