Explanation / Answer

a. S = Serine. V= Valine. E = Glutamate.

b. S = Ser. V = Val. E = Glu.

c. At ph=7, overall charge initripeptide is -1, because of carboxylic acid side chain of glutamate.

d. At physiological pH, Serine is neutral, valine is neutral, glutamate is negatively charged.

e. Below pH=1, overall charge is +1 because of one NH3+(all are protonated).

f. At ph=11.5 ,all are deprotonated,so overall charge of tripeptide is -2,one for carboxylic acid side chain of glutamate and another is for carboxylic acid end side of tripeptide.

g. Intermolecular force here is hydrogen bonding.
