DNA molecules are connected via a 5'-3' phosphodiester linkage to ribose molecules. The phosphate group within this linkage is contains a negatively charged oxygen atom at a PH of 7. This gives DNA its charge.
If something in science is neutral, it means it has a net charge of zero, indicating an equal number of positive and negative charges. This can apply to atoms, molecules, or ions that do not have an overall charge.
To calculate the net charge of a peptide, you need to consider the charges on its constituent amino acids. Each amino acid has a specific charge due to its side chain at different pH values. Add up the charges of all the amino acids in the peptide and take into account any N- and C-terminal charges to calculate the overall net charge of the peptide.
Sodium hydroxide is an alkali; the pH of the solution is over 7.
The midpoint of the pH scale is pH 7, which is considered neutral. Substances with a pH lower than 7 are acidic, while substances with a pH higher than 7 are basic.
Phospholipids are typically uncharged molecules at pH 7 as they have a neutral overall charge. The phosphate group in phospholipids is usually ionized and carries a negative charge, but the overall charge of the molecule is balanced by the other components, making it neutral.
At pH 7, ATP has a net charge of -4.
pK1 = 2.3, pKr = 6, pK2 = 9.7 (all approximate) at physiological pH, histidine has no net charge. at pH 1, below all pKas and charge is +2 at pH 3, amine group proton pops off, so +1 charge at pH 5, still below 6 and above 2.3 so +1 charge if had pH above 6, for instance... at pH of 8 net charge is zero, or neutral... such that it is neutral at physiological pH (a bit above a pH of 7) at pH 11, exceeds all pKas of amine, acid group, and R group. So net charge of -1 amine deprotonation, carboxylic acid deprotonation, and R group deprotonation happen pH 11 because it exceeds all pKs
The charge on the lysine molecule is positive when it is in a solution with a pH of 7.
The pH depends on the concentration (how much is dissolved in a given volume of water) Since it is a strong monoprotic acid the pH equals the negative logarithm of its molar concentration. A 1M solution has a pH of 0 a .1M solution has a pH of 1 and so on until a pH of about 7.

A neutral substance is a substance that has neither a positive nor a negative charge to it. It has the same amount of electrons as protons and therefore they cancel each other out. A neutral substance has a pH level of 7. Anything higher (8-14) has high base levels, anything lower (0-6) is acidic.
pH 0 < acidic < pH 7 neutral = pH 7 pH 7 < basic < pH 14
At a neutral pH i.e. pH 7, only five of the twenty common amino acids carry a net positive or a net negative charge. Aspartic acid and Glutamic acid are negatively charged (-1), at a neutral pH the carboxlic side chains lose a H+ ion Lysine, Arginine and Histidine are positively charged (+1), at a neutral pH the side chains accept a H+ ion. All other amino acids are generally uncharged (0). It is therefore easy to work out the net charge of any sequence. All sequences contain the one letter abbreviation for each amino acid. Here the sequence is "aggdrleeq" a=alanine (uncharged = 0) g=glycine (uncharged = 0) g=glycine (uncharged = 0) d=aspartic acid (negatively charged = -1) r=arginine (positively charged = +1) l=leucine (uncharged = 0) e=glutamic acid (charged = -1) e=glutamic acid (charged = -1) q=glutamine (uncharged = 0) Add up all the charges -3, +1 gives a total peptide charge of -2.
an acid is anything below 7, and a base is anything above 7 pH is a measure of the amount of Hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution. Ions are just atoms that have an electric charge on them, so H+ is a hydrogen atom with charge of 1. Even in pure water ions tend to form due to random processes (producing some H+ and OH- ions). The amount of H+ that is made in pure water is about equal to a pH of 7. That's why 7 is neutral. For those who want a more complicated answer, pH is defined: pH = -log10[H+], where [H+] is the concentration of H+ , expressed in moles/liter. In pure water near room temperature, the concentration of H+ is about 10-7 moles/liter, which gives a pH of 7.
