could you please show all of the significantly polar bonds in asparagine?

Answer 1

The R group for asparagine is as follows: -CH2-CO-NH2. There are two areas where a polar bond can form: the C=O group, and the NH2 group. There are 2 pKa's for asparagine, because it can donate two different pairs of electrons, depending on the pH of the solution. The R group can change from:

-CH2-CO(-)-NH2 (where the C=O becomes C-O[-1]) Electrons from the C=O double bond can be donated to make C-O(-1)

to: -CH2-CO-NH2 (neutral)

to: -CH2-CO-NH3+ (where now the NH2 group can donate a pair of electrons to bind an additional H+ ion.

Hope that answers all your question!

Answer 2

Sorry I tried asparagus once... it was gross
