1 Answer

Answer:

Arginine is the most basic among them because it contains guanidine side group, −(CH2)4NHC(=NH)NH2, which is basic. Lysine has two amine groups, which makes it overall basic because of the second isolated amine group (−(CH2)4NH2). Histidine, on the other hand, contains imidazole group, which is also basic.
