RNH3
RCoon - RCOO tht
Transfer of the proton from the Cool to the NH2
forms neutral zwitterion

High melting points
Famino acids exist in zwitterionic fam in the

stronger
charged groups on adjacent zwitterions
Solubility

- low solubility in non-polar organic molecules
↳ the
energy needed to overcome the strong
