Textbook Question
Chapter 17.1, Problem 1P
- a. Explain why, when the imidazole ring of histidine is protonated, the double-bonded nitrogen is the nitrogen that accepts the proton. (Hint: Localized electrons are more apt to be protonated than delocalized electrons.)
- b. Explain why, when the guanidino group of arginine is protonated, the double-bonded nitrogen is the nitrogen that accepts the proton.
