Message definition (Amino acid)
There are three amino acids with side chains that are cations at neutral pH: [[arginine]] (Arg, R), [[lysine]] (Lys, K) and [[histidine]] (His, H). Arginine has a charged [[Guanidine|guanidino]] group and lysine a charged alkyl amino group, and are fully protonated at pH 7. Histidine's imidazole group has a pK<sub>a</sub> of 6.0, and is only around 10 % protonated at neutral pH. Because histidine is easily found in its basic and conjugate acid forms it often participates in catalytic proton transfers in enzyme reactions.
