Histidine (symbol His or H) [2] is an essential amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.It contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated –NH 3 + form under biological conditions), a carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated –COO − form under biological conditions), and an imidazole side chain (which is partially protonated), classifying it as a ...
Carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) is a dipeptide molecule, made up of the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine. It is highly concentrated in muscle and brain tissues. [citation needed] Carnosine was discovered by Russian chemist Vladimir Gulevich. [1] Carnosine is naturally produced by the body in the liver [2] from beta-alanine and histidine.
One molecule is in the zwitterion form, the other is not. [7] In the solid state, H 4 EDTA is a zwitterion with two protons having been transferred from carboxylic acid groups to the nitrogen atoms. [8] In psilocybin, the proton on the dimethyl amino group is labile and may jump to the phosphate group to form a compound which is not a zwitterion.

Aromatic amino acids often serve as the precursors to important biochemicals. Histidine is the precursor to histamine.; Tryptophan is the precursor to 5-hydroxytryptophan and then serotonin, tryptamine, auxin, kynurenines, and melatonin.
Like other amino acids, tryptophan is a zwitterion at physiological pH where the amino group is protonated (– NH + 3; pK a = 9.39) and the carboxylic acid is deprotonated ( –COO −; pK a = 2.38). [5] Humans and many animals cannot synthesize tryptophan: they need to obtain it through their diet, making it an essential amino acid.
A polyhistidine-tag, best known by the trademarked name His-tag, is an amino acid motif in proteins that typically consists of at least six histidine (His) residues, often at the N- or C-terminus of the protein. It is also known as a hexa histidine-tag, 6xHis-tag, or His6 tag.
