  2. Histidine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histidine

    Histidine ball and stick model spinning. 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 ...

  3. Aromatic amino acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromatic_amino_acid

    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.

  4. Hydrophobicity scales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophobicity_scales

    Vapor phases represent the simplest non polar phases, because it has no interaction with the solute. [18] The hydration potential and its correlation to the appearance of amino acids on the surface of proteins was studied by Wolfenden. Aqueous and polymer phases were used in the development of a novel partitioning scale. [19]

    The polar, uncharged amino ... Nonpolar amino acid interactions are the primary driving force behind the processes that fold ... Histidine under these conditions can ...

  6. Catalytic triad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_triad

    The endothelial protease vasohibin [f] uses a cysteine as the nucleophile, but a serine to coordinate the histidine base. [43] [44] Despite the serine being a poor acid, it is still effective in orienting the histidine in the catalytic triad. [43] Some homologues alternatively have a threonine instead of serine at the acid location. [43]

  7. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    When comparing a polar and nonpolar molecule with similar molar masses, the polar molecule in general has a higher boiling point, because the dipole–dipole interaction between polar molecules results in stronger intermolecular attractions. One common form of polar interaction is the hydrogen bond, which is also

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serine

    Serine ball and stick model spinning. Serine (symbol Ser or S) [3] [4] is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated − NH +
