Arginine shows three pKa's: at 2.17 (the --COOH group), at 9.04 (the --N1H3 group), and at 12.48

Question:

Arginine shows three pKa's: at 2.17 (the --COOH group), at 9.04 (the --N1H3 group), and at 12.48 (the guanidinium ion). Write equilibria (similar to eq. 17.6) for its dissociation. At approximately what pH will the isoelectric point come, and what is the structure of the dipolar ion?
