In this reaction, glycine acts as both a Brønsted-Lowry acid and a Brønsted-Lowry base.
1.State the part of the glycine molecule that acts as a Brønsted-Lowry acid in the forward reaction, giving a reason for your answer.
2.In an aqueous solution of glycine, the transfer of the hydrogen ion may involve two reaction steps. The first reaction step is shown.
(i)By considering how a hydrogen ion forms from a hydrogen atom, explain why the hydrogen ion is often referred to as a proton.
(ii)Explain why $H^+$ is not an accurate representation of the cation formed in this reaction.
3.Amino acids such as glycine can be used to produce long molecules called peptides. The shape of the peptide molecule is determined by the types of intermolecular interactions present between the amino acid side chains, which have different structures. Part of a peptide molecule is shown, with the side chains highlighted in bold.
Suggest why acid-base reactions could alter the shape of this peptide chain.
