A protein consisting of more basic amino acids such as ----------exists as a cation at the physiological pH of 7.4. Such proteins are called basic proteins.

Options

  1. ALysine and aspartic acid
  2. BMethionine and arginine
  3. CLysine and arginine
  4. DProline and cysteine

Correct answer

C. Lysine and arginine

Step-by-step solution

Basic amino acids contain an extra amino group in their side chain, which gets protonated at the physiological pH of 7.4 to form a cation. Examples of basic amino acids include lysine, arginine, and histidine. Therefore, a protein consisting of more basic amino acids such as lysine and arginine exists as a cation at physiological pH and is called a basic protein. Answer: Lysine and arginine
