Zwitterion comes from the German word for 'two' (zwei) or 'double' (zwitter) and the word 'ion'. While neutral, the zwitterion form of anamino acid will have a positive and a negative charge. The standardstructure contains both a carboxyl and an amine in the backbone.

Explanation:

(NH2), an acidic carboxylic group (COOH) and a hydrogen atom (H) and side chain or variable R group. The amino acid is both an acid and a base and hence is called amphoteric.

A zwitterion also called as dipolar ion, is a molecule with two or more functional groups, of which at least one has a positive and other has a negative electrical charge and the net charge of the entire molecule is zero. The pH at which this happens is known as the isoelectric point
