How to Prepare a Buffer Solution: An Anserine Buffer Draw the titration curve for anserine (Figure 2.16). The isoelectric point of anserine is the pH where the net charge on the molecule is zero: what is the isoelectric point for anserine? Given a 0.1 M solution of anserine at its isoelectric point and ready access to 0.1 M HCl, 0.1 M NaOH, and distilled water, describe the preparation of 1 L of 0.04 M anserine buffer solution. pH 7.2.
