The titration curve of alanine shows the ionization of two functional groups with pKa values of 2.34 and 9.69, corresponding to the ionization of the carboxyl and the protonated amino groups, respectively. The titration of di-, tri-, and larger oligopeptides of alanine also shows the ionization of only two functional groups, although the experimental pKa values are different. The trend in pKa values is summarized in the table. Which of the following is a reason for this shift in pK values
