Marks Fig 6.4 The side chains of the amino acids. The side chains are highlighted. The amino acids are grouped by key properties of their side chains. These groupings are not absolute. 1. Amino acid residues in a protein may undergo post-translational modification e.g. hydroxylation of lysine & proline in collagen, glycosylation of Ser, Thr, Asn 2. pKa is the pH at which an amino acid is 50% dissociated (see Acid-base properties). 3. Within proteins, the pKa of the R groups are subject to modification depending on adjacent groups. 4. Isoelectric point (pI) is the pH at which a protein bears no net charge (and is electrophoretically immobile)
