Amino acids have different protonation states at different pH.
The protonation states of the amine and carboxylic acid functional groups can vary
at different pH. In addition, the side chain can have different ionic states.
Choose the protonation state of lysine at physiological pH.

- A recent article reported on the development of a new type of opioid drug that binds to a specific protein, but may not have the deleterious side-effects of many opioid drugs currently in use. The new drug is: N- N. The drug binds relatively tightly to the protein at low pH (Kd = 2 nM at pH = 5.5). The drug binds less tightly to the protein at higher pH (Kd = 18 nM at pH 7.4).
