The reductive amination of the structure shown below would give which amino acid product?
 
  1.aspartic acid
  2.glutamic acid
  3.cysteine
  4.alanine
  5.none of these

Question 2

One can always calculate the pI of an amino acid by
  1.averaging the pKa of the -carboxyl group and the -amino group
  2.averaging two pKa values, but which ones are averaged will depend on which amino acid it is
  3.averaging the pKa of the -carboxyl and the side chain
  4.averaging the pKa of the -amino and the side chain
  5.averaging the pKa values of the -amino, -carboxyl, and side chain
