What amino acid would work best as a buffer close to physiological pH?
Histidine is the amino acid that function at the physiological PH. The reason being that the Pka value of his is 6.8 close to the physiological PH of the blood i.e. 7.4
What is fehso32?
The compound known as Fe(HSO3)2 is called iron bicarbonate. It is mainly used as a physiological pH buffer in biochemistry.
Why pH is relevant to an enzyme and function?
QUICK ANSWERLiving organisms depend on a proper balance of hydrogen and hydroxide ions in order to maintain essential physiological processes. Scientists use pH to express the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. Many organisms have tightly regulated systems to maintain the pH within the required range.
Will the drug be ionized if it's pKa lower than the physiological pH and why?
An acid in a base solution will ionize; a base in an acid will ionize. Like solutions do not ionize. When pKa is less than pH, around 99 percent to 100 percent of the drug will ionize.
What is meant by physiological acidosis when the blood pH is between 7 and 7.35?
The normal ph of arterial blood is 7.4, that of venous blood and IF is 7.35, and that of ICF averages 7.0. The lower pH in cells and venous blood reflects their greater amounts of acidic metabolites and carbon dioxide, which combines with water to from carbonic acid, H2CO3. Whenever the pH of arterial blood rises above 7.45, a person is said to have alkalosis or alkalemia. A drop in arterial pH to below 7.35 results in acidosis or academia. Because pH 7.0 is neutral, chemically speaking 7.35 is not acidic. However, it is a higher-than -optimal H+ concentration for most cells, so any arterial pHbetween 7.35 and 7.0 is called physiological acidosis.
PH of physiological saline?
No specific pH

Part of digestive tract lowest pH?
About 1-3 in the stomach. In the intestinal tract it tends to be near physiological pH (7.4).
What are the characteristics of a buffer system?
Buffering system is the physiological system that function to keep pH within normal limits.

What is meant by physiological pH of human?
The physiological pH of a human is a measure of the acidity of some area of the human body. The stomach, for example, has its own acidity (usually around 2, meaning very acidic), while the blood has a different acidity (about 7.4). These differences in acidity are very important in maitaining homeostasis in the body.
What is the net charge for lysine?
Depends on the pH. The lysine nitrogen is positively charged until pH 9.0 (so at physiological pH it is positively charged). See http://usm.maine.edu/~newton/Chy251_253/Lectures/AminoAcids/AminoAcids2.html near the bottom.

What two medical terms refer to a physiological ph imbalance in a patient?
Acidosis and alkalosis are names for acid and base imbalance respectively.
What is fehso32?
The compound known as Fe(HSO3)2 is called iron bicarbonate. It is mainly used as a physiological pH buffer in biochemistry.
What substances regulate an organisms pH so it can maintain homeostasis?
There are three major systems that control pH levels. They are the respiratory system, the chemical and physiological buffering system, and the urinary system.
