The amino group of the lysine side chain has a pKa of 12.5. At pH 7.4, what is the molecular form of the amino group? Can this group exist in a hydrophobic pocket? If so, how would the pKa change? If the amino group were next to carboxylate of glutamate in a hydrophobic pocket how would the pKa change?
At 7.4 pH as it is lower than pKa so amino group will exist as NH3+. Yes this can exist in hydrophobic pocket.if carboxylate group is next to amino group hydrogen bonding may occur and this will decrease pKa value of amino group.

If you have 4 Lysines, the side chain of Lysine has a Pka value of around 11, you are at pH of 4, are you going to take a proton off or to add? What is the net charge of these four Lys? What kind of ion exchange chormatography would you use?
The pK of the side chain of amino acid X in a polypeptide is normally in the range of 9-10 and carries a positive charge when protonated. Suppose you have a soluble globular protein and you find there is an X that has a pK of 6.5. What is the most likely reason for such a large drop in pK? Circle the correct answer. a) X is on the surface of the protein where it ion pairs with the carboxylate...
