Correction: 4:03 I’m showing the phosphate groups getting protonated by the acid, but in reality there are some amino acid sidechains (which are not on my drawing) that would get protonated way before the phosphate groups would. The pKa of the first proton to leave on the phosphate group is roughly 2.2, so it actually wouldn’t be protonated at pH 4.6. However, other previously negative amino acid sidechains would get protonated, and the overall charge of the casein glob at the isoelectric point would be zero. #cocktails #milkwashing #breakthrough #moleculargastronomy #bartending #mixology #espressomartini You might also like other Reactions videos: How supercritical fluids give you decaf coffee: https://youtube.com/shorts/OAl_3dRu2jo?si=HAzWy6HlPST8Lc69 Some non-alcoholic spirits contain alcohol: https://youtube.com/shorts/0bPEZ6Cy5EQ?si=u1dYtw-GsoQ9syGc How Do They Make Maple Syrup? https://youtu.be/nSRCDiKMEJc?si=qEoz7xu4AfxGmP3L Did the Chemical Building Blocks of Life Form in Space? https://youtu.be/Jh_O5JP10aQ?si=E1fHXi1wJbf39wIT What Do Electrolytes Actually Do? https://youtu.be/xhLHtuZ3VOI?si=WD42LYRw-b3SQago How is Whiskey Made?
