a. Draw the structure of the tripeptide A-A-A, and label the two ionizable functional groups.
b. What is the predominant form of A-A-A at pH=1?
c. The values for the two ionizable functional groups (3.39 and 8.03) differ considerably from the values of alanine (2.35 and 9.87;see table 29.1). Account for the observed differences.
