  • The isoelectric point of an amino acid is the pH at which the amino acid has a neutral charge. You will learn how to calculate the isoelectric point, and the effects of pH on the amino acid's overall charge. We will also discuss zwitterions, or the forms of amino acids that dominate at the isoelectric point. By Tracy Kovach. Created by Tracy Kim Kovach.

    but...HOW do you calculate the PI with the R group? that makes it a lot more difficult then averaging two numbers together...?

    • @remiscott7539
      @remiscott7539 8 лет назад +4

      You have to look at the pKa-value of all the functional groups. Say you have one amino-group and two acid-groups. You know that ionized, the amino-group will have a charge of +1 and each of the acid-groups will have -1. The goal is always to get a net charge of 0, which means the net charge of the two acid-groups has to neutralize the charge of the amino group. To do this, you add the pKa-values of the two acid-groups, and divide the sum by two. This way, each of the acid-groups will have a net charge of -0.5, since it will be 50/50 COOH/COO-. This way, you will have a net charge of 0, and you will have found the isoelectric point.

      And apply the formula on that. U will get the iso electric point. Iso = same
      It probably means same charge.

    • @SHAMBHAVISHARMA1-10-2001
      @SHAMBHAVISHARMA1-10-2001 5 лет назад

      we neglect the coo- as nh3+ is in majority so, we take the average of the pk values of nh3+ i.e the pi would approximately be 9.

    at 4:20, on average from the amino acids groups, the pKa of carboxylic acids is 2. So that means there is not standard set value of pKa for a single carboxylic acid? Then what would be the pKa of only the carboxylic acid and nothing else attached to it?

    • @avigailb4940
      @avigailb4940 5 лет назад +2

      No. If it's a negatively charged amino acid, PI= pka+pk1/2. If it's a positively charged amino acid, PI= pk2+pka/2. If you think about the meaning of PI, this makes more sense.

    @katherineluo5841 3 года назад

    Hi I have a question ;-; can someone help
    this showed up in the practice module:
    electrophoretic separation of leucine from a protein sample would be the least effective at which of the following pH value? 7.4, 2.4, 1.4, and 0.4.
    I know for leucine since it is alkyl its isoelectric point is around ~5.5. but how does the fact that it is a zwitterion at ~5.5 have to do with the least effective pH for electrophoretic separation of levine being at 7.4?
    Thank u in advance!!!!

    • @merinprince4179
      @merinprince4179 2 года назад

      I think its because an amino acid does not move unless it gains a positive or negative charge. So for the zwitterion to move, it needs to gain a charge. Placing the protein sample in a pH solution that is close to the pH of the zwitterion will not cause it to gain any charge. For it to be separated effectively from the sample, it needs to placed in a pH environment that is a lot higher or lot lower. 7.4 is too close in value to the pH of Leucine for it to gain charge and move. If it was placed in a pH solution of 0.4, it will move a lot farther and get separated from the rest of the protein sample a lot better. I hope this helped.
