Which of the following amino acids have side chains that are negatively charged under physiological conditions?
High-Yield Explanation
The side chains of the acidic amino acids, aspaic acid and glutamic acid, are negatively charged above pH 3; in their ionized state, they are often referred to as aspaate and glutamate. Asparagine and glutamine are, respectively, the amides of aspaic acid and glutamic acid. Ref: Voet Fundamentals of Biochemistry 4th Edition Pg no 82.
