At
pH
values
higher
than
the
pKa
of
the
carboxylic
acid
group
(mean
for
the
20
common
amino
acids
is
about
2.2),
the
negaCve
carboxylate
ion
predominates.
At
pH
values
lower
than
the
pKa
of
the
-ammonium
group
(mean
for
the
20
common
-amino
acids
is
about
9.4),
the
nitrogen
is
predominantly
protonated.
At
a
pH
between
2.2
and
9.4,
-amino
acids
consist
of
the
negaCvely-charged
carboxylate
group
and
the
posiCvely-charged
-
ammonium
group
and
have
a
net
charge
of
zero.
This
molecular
state
is
known
as
a
zwiSerion,
from
the
German
Zwi$er
meaning
hybrid.
Below
pH
2.2,
the
predominant
form
will
have
a
neutral
carboxylic
acid
group
and
a
posiCve
-ammonium
ion
(net
charge
+1),
and
above
pH
9.4,
a
negaCve
carboxylate
and
neutral
-amino
group
(net
charge
1).

The
neurotransmiSer
dopamine
contains
an
amine
group
whose
conjugate
acid
has
a
pKa
=
10.6.
In

The
concentraCon
of
the
protonated
amine
is
2000x
that
of
the
neutral
amine.
Typical
amines
are
>99.9%
protonated
at
physiological
pH.
