L-ornithine is a metabolic intermediate in mammals. It is involved in the Urea Cycle, the process by which animals remove nitrogen wastes from the body. L-ornithine is also used as a nutritional supplement, with alleged benefits such as decreasing fatigue, enhancing wound healing and reducing anxiety. L-ornithine contains 3 ionizable groups, x, y & z, with the following pKa’s (pKax = 10.76; pKay = 8.69; pKaz = 1.71). The structure of L-ornithine in the fully protonated form is shown below. Let us analyze the acid-base behavior of L-ornithine. x +H3N L-ornithine NH3+ у OH Zarrow_forward
