Examples
“By re-programming the code of a DNA molecule, e.g. changing the word CAC to GAC, it would be possible to obtain a protein in which the amino acid histidine is replaced by the amino acid aspartic acid.”
“The gene containing the bacteria's LOV domain also codes for a signaling protein called a histidine kinase.”
“Amino acids, such as histidine, produced by pathways related to nucleotide metabolism, but not found in spark-tube experiments, are in fact excellent candidates for inclusion because they interact well with the RNA that must be present.”
“P. falciparum cultures should be evaluated, and the putative implication of particular ROS determined using reversible inhibitors such as histidine, tryptophan, superoxide dismutase and/or catalase, to indicate which oxygen radicals, if any, are involved”
“A2 cows produce this protein with a proline at number 67, whereas A1 cows have a mutated proline amino acid, which converts it to histidine.”

“This idea is reemphasized here in the finding that amino acids with complex biosyntheses, like tryptophan, histidine, and arginine, were included in the presumably primordial stereochemical core of the genetic code.”
“The amino acids are arginine, histidine, isoleucine, lysine and methionine.”
“The main sources of histidine are all root and green leafy vegetables.”
“High levels of dietary fat have also been demonstrated to enhance UV-induced immunosuppression in experimental systems [102] and may be a factor in arctic populations as well as high histidine levels in some species of fish [103] and seal [104].”
Potential impacts of direct mechanisms of climate change on human health in the Arctic
“Dietary histidine increases mouse skin urocanic levels and enhances UV-B-induced immune suppression of contact hypersensitivity.”
