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 is the differences between amino acid trytophan and phenylalanie?
Phenylalanine uses the same transport system as tryptophan to cross the blood-brain barrier. They are both large, hydrophobic amino acids. Phenylalanine is an alanine with a phenyl group attached.

Some medications on this list include oral contraceptives (but, even then, only a very few women are affected), certain antibiotics, and also alcohol.
