Factors determining the pKa values of the ionizable groups in proteins: their intrinsic pKas and the effects of hydrogen bonding on buried carboxyl groups

A goal of the modern protein chemist is the design of novel proteins with specific activities or functions. One hurdle to overcome is the ability to accurately predict the pKas of ionizable groups upon their burial in the interior of a protein, where they are typically perturbed from their intrinsic...
