- Glycine is a diprotic acid, which can potentially undergo two dissociation reactions, one for the a-amino group (-NH3), and the other for the carboxyl (-COOH) group. Therefore, it has two pKą values. The carboxyl group has a pK₁ of 2.34 and the a-amino group has a pK₂ of 9.60. Glycine can exist in fully deprotonated (NH₂-CH₂-COO-), fully protonated (NH3-CH₂-COOH), or zwitterionic form (NH3-CH₂-COO-). Match the pH values with the corresponding form of glycine that would be present in the highest concentration in a solution of th pH. fully deprotonated form NH,−CH,−COO- pH 11.9 pH 6.0 pH 8.0 fully protonated form NH3-CH₂-COOH pH 1.0 Answer Bank pH 7.0 zwitterionic form NH3-CH₂-COO-arrow_forward27. Which of the following statements about cholesterol is not correct? CH3 CH3 H. d но Cholesterol (a) Cholesterol is a steroid that contains a tetracyclic ring system. (b) Cholesterol is a steroid that contains 8 chiral carbons and can form 28 or 256 stereoisomers. (c) Each atom or group attached to a ring-junction carbon (i.e., carbons a -e) is in a trans or axial position. Because of this the tetracyclic ring system is mostly flat. (d) Cholesterol is used to synthesized vitamin D, bile acids, sex hormones, and adrenocorticoid hormones. (e) Cholesterol is not found in the cell membranes of animals.arrow_forwardglycine has pKa value of 2.3 and 9.6 would you expect pKa value of glyclglycine to be higher to lower than these values?arrow_forward

- Researchers analysed a glycopeptide (a peptide carrying one or several oligosaccharide groups) and determined both the sequence of the peptide and the sequence of the sugar molecule. The latter was identified as a diholoside coupled to the peptide by an osidic bond. The systematic name of this sugar is: B-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-ß-D-galactopyranose. : Represent the chemical formula of this diholoside in a way that all oses are Question 1 represented according to the Haworth convention.
