is it more correct to say proteins are amphoteric due to the zwitterion property of amino acids???
can anyone help?
thanks!

Proteins are both amphoteric and zwiterrionic and so yes the term would be correct. When a protien dissolves in acid any free amine nitrogens will protonate and in base the amide links will deprotonate therefor amphoteric. In pure deionised water (pH-7) the acidic amide links will protonate the basic free NR3 and so also zwitterionic.

Hi >
Proteins are good things,
I have never used zwitterion, as I don't think it exists.
You are having a laugh, surely
What about amorphic anzetalones ?
Good for back pains,
There you go.
