Zwitterions pH = isoelectric point - the pH at which a molecule has equal numbers of + and - charge Overall Charges: the sum of all the charges in an amino acid the number of the amine group the number of the carboxyl group Molecular Handedness - Chiral molecules can be right or left handed handedness affects their chemical behavior molecules that have handedness = Chiral Chiral Molecules The alpha carbon in amino acids are chiral; therefore proteins are chiral Carbon atoms have four different groups attached to the Carbon Carbonyl Carbon achiral H-C-H COOH H2N-C-H CH3 all L amino acids in humans are left handed bacteria can be left or right handed Carbonyl Carbon achiral No Chiral Carbon Symmetrical pH overall charge pH = pKa + log [A-]/[HA]
