  • Identifying dipolar ions

    They exhibit a very important phenomenon of dipolarity or zwitterionic which is due to the presence of two polar groups at two ends of the amino acid chain. H atom from COOH moves to NH2 making it NH3.

  • Definition of the isoelectric point of a protein

    The isoelectric point (pI) of a protein is the pH at which a zwitterionic molecule does not migrate in an electric field, because its NET CHARGE IS ZERO. That's a definition that is easy to find but somewhat more difficult to understand.

  • Biochemistry Questions: Ionization and Substrate Binding

    there is no net charge and this peptide is zwitterionic at pH 6. Note that this means the peptide will not interact with the negatively charged CM cellulose and will be eluted (washed out) of the column at this pH.
