@16:50 Why are you adding a Hydrogen to the NH group if you're deprotonating it? The pH is greater than the pKa so it wins one for the solution and deprotonates the group so shouldn't the NH group become a N with a charge of -2?
@Leah4sciMCAT5 жыл бұрын
Careful, every H has it’s own pKa value. When given pKa values for AAs you’re looking at the +H. To remove a neutral H (to get N-) you’d need another pKa value, for N-2 you’d need yet another. Both are well beyond the scope of our pH scale here

Hi Leah! Thank you so much for this video! Quick Question! Why do we know to deprotonate the hydrogen off of the carboxyl functional group rather than off the tyrosine (6:30 in the video). Thanks!!
@Leah4sciMCAT3 жыл бұрын
The entire molecule is known as the amino acid tyrosine (not just the side chain). At this point in the video, we are determining the net charge of tyrosine between a pH of 2.2 and 9.1. Since the pKa of the carboxyl group is 2.2, if we are above that value in pH, the carboxyl group will be deprotonated. Any pH above 2.2 will yield a deprotonated carboxyl group. If still struggling on this topic, read my tutorial at leah4sci.com/amino-acid-charge-in-zwitterions-and-isoelectric-point-mcat-tutorial/

When you are looking at the alcohol on the tyrosine side chain @ 11:17, why is it that the proton is being added to a deprotonated alcohol? Why not an already protonated alcohol?
@Leah4sciMCAT7 жыл бұрын
the pKa refers to the ability to add/remove a proton to a specific form of the molecule. Tyrosine with an OH is very unlikely to accept a proton given that it is a very poor base. however, Tyrosine with an O- is likely to accept the proton. This works the same in reverse for donating the proton. O- has none to give, OH is likely to give it up.

@6:32 , how did you get the OH to have a net charge of 0? I figured that the charge would be +1 since the pH of 5 is less than 10.1 so there would be a protonation and thus would gain a +1 charge.

When looking at ionizable groups, take into account what happens when they get protonated/deprotonated. You are correct that the OH will be protonated, but what happens when it IS protonated? You get OH (not OH2+) When deprotonated you get O-

For the tyrosine example, why is it -1 when the PH is 9.6? The ph is less than the pka for the R group, meaning we have to protonate it, giving it a charge of +1. The sum of +1 and negative one (from the carbonyl group) will be zero, not -1.
@Leah4sciMCAT4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your question! When the R group of tyrosine is protonated, it has a charge of zero. It exists as an -OH group off of the benzene ring. You will not see it exist at -OH2+. Therefore, at a pH of 9.6, the sum of 0 and -1 (from the carboxylate) gives a net charge of -1 for tyrosine.
@joannaelhaj35714 жыл бұрын
Leah4sciMCAT thank you for your reply. I wasn’t aware of this rule. So if a NH3+ needs to be protonated, you keep it as a +1 charge. If you have to deprotonate NH3+, it become 0. If an OH group needs to be protonated, it will have a charge of 0 and if you have to deprotonate and OH group, it will have a charge of -1, correct? Also usually when finding pI, you start with the most protonated form of the amino acid, would that be used to see if the overall charge of the amino acid is a 0 or +1, or are you specifically looking at the charge of the side chain?

@Leah4sciMCAT3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for asking! I wouldn’t refer to anything as a ‘baseline’. In this case, the amino group can only be considered protonated (NH3+) or deprotonated (NH2). At 16:40, don’t take any meaning from the fact that I have the amino written as NH. I simply was waiting to write in the number of hydrogen atoms, after my assessment of whether the group would be protonated or deprotonated.

good question. I chose to focus only on the amino acids that have pKa values significant enough to consider for the MCAT. Serine for example has an OH but is not highly ionizable due to lacking stability for the resulting negative charge. As such we just assume it's always protonated and neutral in regards to MCAT/biochemistry

Thank you so much for these videos, Leah!! Your channel is a real blessing!! One question- why is the pKa on the amine group in tyrosine 9.1 instead of 9.6? I thought it was always the same on every amino acid being 9.6, so I've been using that for my calculations in these types of questions. But here you have it as 9.1, so is it different for every amino acid? If so, how do we know what it will be? Thanks so much again:))

Awww, thanks for your kind words! Technically, the pKa of the amino group is slightly different for every amino acid. It’s fine to use 9.6 as an estimate for any one of them, when calculating pI.

Thanks for your question! The physiological pH of the human body is known to be ~7.4. It’s important to know the structures at this pH, simply because of its relevance to human body chemistry. Zwitter ions contain an equal number of positively and negatively charged groups, meaning they are overall electrically neutral. Because of the pKa values of their side chains, not all amino acids are neutral zwitter ions at physiologic pH.

The isoelectric point is the pH of the solution at which the net charge of the molecule is zero. Therefore, in order to calculate pI, we average the two pKa values that are just before and just after the pH range that gives us a net charge of zero. In this case, for tyrosine, that would be 2.2 and 9.1

isn't Cysteine and Tyrosine neutral AAs?

Their side chains are neutral in charge, if that's what you're asking. For help with questions like this and more, I recommend joining the MCAT Study Hall.

isnt aspartic acid positively chaged?
@Leah4sciMCAT4 жыл бұрын
Great question! The net charge of aspartic acid (or of any amino acid with ionizable groups) changes with the pH of the solution. This is because each of the ionizable groups on the molecule has a different pKa value and can exist in either its protonated or deprotonated form depending on the pH.
