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.
Nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) is the aminopolycarboxylic acid with the formula N(CH 2 CO 2 H) 3. It is a colourless solid. It is a colourless solid. Its conjugate base nitrilotriacetate is used as a chelating agent for Ca 2+ , Co 2+ , Cu 2+ , and Fe 3+ .
Primarily because it is corroded by dissolved chlorides, such as common sodium chloride, household plumbing is never made from aluminium. [9] However, because of its general resistance to corrosion, aluminium is one of the few metals that retains silvery reflectance in finely powdered form, making it an important component of silver-colored paints.
Aluminium (or aluminum in North American English) is a chemical element; it has symbol Al and atomic number 13. Aluminium has a density lower than that of other common metals, about one-third that of steel. It has a great affinity towards oxygen, forming a protective layer of oxide on the surface when exposed to air.
An alum (/ ˈ æ l ə m /) is a type of chemical compound, usually a hydrated double sulfate salt of aluminium with the general formula X Al(SO 4) 2 ·12 H 2 O, such that X is a monovalent cation such as potassium or ammonium. [1] By itself, "alum" often refers to potassium alum, with the formula KAl(SO 4) 2 ·12 H 2 O.
Aluminum-silicon phase diagram. Aluminum forms a eutectic with silicon, which is at 577 °C, with a Si content of 12.5% [7] or 12.6%. [8] Up to 1.65% Si can be dissolved in aluminum at this temperature. However, the solubility decreases rapidly with temperature. At 500 °C it is still 0.8% Si, at 400 °C 0.3% Si and at 250 °C only 0.05% Si.
