1. Histidine

   Histidine (symbol His or H) is an essential amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated –NH3+ 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 positively charged amino acid at physiological pH. Initially thought essential only for infants, it has now been shown in longer-term studies to be essential for adults also. It is encoded by the codons CAU and CAC. Histidine was first isolated by Albrecht Kossel and Sven Gustaf Hedin in 1896. It is also a precursor to histamine, a vital inflammatory agent in immune responses. The acyl radical is histidyl.

1. histidine

   Histidine is a basic and positively charged essential amino acid that is vital for growth and repair of tissues. It is involved in several bodily functions, including the production of red and white blood cells, maintaining the pH balance, and supporting immune response. Histidine also helps in the synthesis of proteins and enzymes and is crucial for overall metabolism. Because the human body cannot produce histidine, it needs to be obtained through diet or dietary supplements.
