A molecule that has both positive and negative charges but no net charge

Why do amino acids exist as a zwitterion in neutral solutions (~pH7), and how is this impactful on a physiological level?

  • The carboxyl group is deprotonated (-COO⁻)

  • The amine group is protonated (-NH₃⁺)

→ dissolves easily in water
