Like any other amino acid, tryptophan possesses both acidic and basic characteristics, referred to as amphoteric substances.
It acts as an acid at pH below 5.89 and as a base at pH above 5.89.
5.89 here is the isoelectric point of tryptophan, a pH value where its overall charge is zero and wherein it neither acts as an acid, nor as a base.

What happens in a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction?
In a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, an acid donates a proton (H+) to a base, which accepts the proton. This results in the formation of a conjugate base from the acid and a conjugate acid from the base. The overall reaction involves the transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.
What amino acid looks like serotonin?

What ingrediant could be eliminated if the medium was strictly used for indole production?
Trytophan
What combinations of compounds will make a buffer when mixed?
In order to have an effective buffer, one needs to have a weak acid or a weak base, and the salt (conjugate) of that weak acid or weak base. Examples would be :weak acid/conjugate base: acetic acid/sodium acetateweak base/conjugate acid: ammonia/ammonium chloride

Is acetamide acid or base?
Acetamide is a weak base. It can undergo protonation to form the conjugate acid, acetic acid, in acidic solutions.
Which of the following best describes a bronsted lowry acid base reaction?
A Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction involves the transfer of a proton (H+) from the acid to the base. The acid donates a proton, while the base accepts a proton. This results in the formation of a conjugate base from the acid and a conjugate acid from the base.

What happens in a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction?
In a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, an acid donates a proton (H+) to a base, which accepts the proton. This results in the formation of a conjugate base from the acid and a conjugate acid from the base. The overall reaction involves the transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.
Is salt table acid or base?
Salt is neither an acid nor a base. It is a compound formed by the reaction of an acid with a base, which can result in a neutral pH depending on the specific acid and base involved.
