Which amino acid is most likely to have a net positive chare at pH 7?

a. aspartic acid

b. glutamine

c. histidine

d. lysine

Explanation / Answer

1. a. formed by the post-translational modification of a protein

Hydroxyproline formed by hydroxylation of proline that happens after translation in lumen of endoplasmic reticulum.

2. proline

Proline is the amino acid containing secondary amine

3. Lysine : as it has basic sided chains
