"Decoding Zwitterions: Amphoteric Molecules with a Dual Charge"

A zwitterion is a molecule that contains both positive and negative charges but is overall electrically neutral. These unique species arise due to the presence of functional groups that can donate and accept protons. Zwitterions are commonly found in amino acids, where the amino group carries a positive charge, and the carboxyl group carries a negative charge at physiological pH. These compounds are crucial in biochemistry, as they influence protein structure, solubility, and ionic interactions.
