You can predict if an amino acid will be acidic or basic according to its structure. For example, <scene name='Tutorial:Basic_Chemistry_Topics/Glu/1'>glutamic acid</scene> contains a carboxylic acid functional group, which was stated previously to be an acidic functional group that lowers the pH of the amino acid. On the other hand, arginine is classified as a basic amino acid. The functional group of arginine contains a guanidine group. A guanidine group contains amine groups, increasing the pH of the amino acid. | You can predict if an amino acid will be acidic or basic according to its structure.
