A bacteriophage recognizes its host by its tail fibers binding to chemical groups associated with receptors on the surface of the host cell. Some of these receptors are transport proteins, pili, flagella and lipopolysaccharides. As you can see they have multiple jobs in the cell.

How do the constituent chemical groups determine the pI of arginine?

The pI of arginine is determined by its constituent chemical groups, including the amino and guanidino groups. The guanidino group is positively charged at neutral pH, while the amino group can be positively charged or neutral depending on the pH. At the pI, the overall charge of arginine is neutral, as the positive charge on the guanidino group is balanced by the negative charge on the amino group.
