Amino Acid pKa chart is used in chemistry to determine the acid-base properties of amino acids. It shows the pKa values for different functional groups present in the amino acids. The pKa values indicate the pH at which a particular group will be mostly protonated or deprotonated, which determines its charge and reactivity. This information is important in understanding the behavior and characteristics of amino acids in various biological and chemical processes.
