D G = D G o' + RTlnQ. If Q is then D G is > K eq >0 (reverse reaction is favorable) = K eq =0 (at equilibrium) < K eq <0 (reaction favorable as written). Standard States in Biochemistry 1. Activity of water is 1. (really 55 M) 2. Hydrogen ion activity is 1 at pH 7.

Acids, Bases and Buffers!!! • pH = pKa + log [A] • [HA]
Bloody Fact: • If 1 mL of 10 N HCl is added to 1 liter of saline solution at pH = 7.0, the pH will decrease to roughly pH = 2. • If 1 mL of 10 N HCl is added to 1 liter of blood plasma at pH = 7.4, the pH will decrease to pH = 7.2. • Why? Blood is buffered (in this case by the H2CO3/HCO3 system).
This is IMPORTANT!!! • If pH = pKa, then [A-] = [HA] then [deprotonated] = [protonated] • If pH < pKa, then [A-] < [HA] then [deprotonated] < [protonated] • If pH > pKa, then [A-] > [HA] then [deprotonated] > [protonated] Summarized on VVP Fig 2-15
Using Henderson-Hasselbalch • at pH values +3 pH units from pKa the group is essentially fully deprotonated or fully protonated, so the average charge = 0 or +1. • at pH = pKa the group is 50% protonated, thus it carries an average charge = + 0.5 • H-H equation can be used to calculate the average charge on an ionizable group at any pH.

Ionic properties of amino acids impart ionic properties to proteins • in general these are SURFACE properties (i.e. charged sidechains are on solvent-exposed outside of folded structure) • affect protein-ligand binding (e.g. DNA-binding proteins) or catalysis • average charge on protein is an important consideration in the design of a purification process

Other Properties of Amino Acids • Stereochemistry (all biosynthetic proteins made up of L-isomer) • Hydropathy (partitioning between polar and nonpolar solvents as indicator of polarity) (see Table 6-2 in VVP p 150; Take Note p58) these two properties are major determinants of peptide conformation
