Biochemistry Structure and function of protein 219600d8

Acidic amino acids are

A
Asparagine
B
Arginine
C
Glutamine
D
None
High-Yield Explanation
aspaic acid and glutamic acid are proton donors. At physiologic pH, the side chains of these amino acids are fully ionized, containing a negatively charged carboxylate group (-COO-). They are, therefore, called aspaate or glutamate to emphasize that these amino acids are negatively charged at physiologic pH Asparagine and Glutamine are neutral amino acids.
