The effective atomic number and effective electron density in amino acids are of significant interest due to their use in various applications. The energy absorption buildup factors, exposure buildup factors, effective atomic numbers, and electron densities of essential amino acids such as Leucine (C 6 H 13 NO 2 ), Lysine (C 6 H 14 N 2 O 2 ), Methionine (C 5 H 11 NO 2 S), Phenylalanine (C 9 H 11 NO 2 ), Threonine (C 4 H 9 NO 3 ), Tryptophan (C 11 H 12 N 2 O 2 ), Valine (C 5 H 11 NO 2 ), Arginine (C 6 H 14 N 4 O 2 ), and Histidine (C 6 H 9 N 3 O 2 ) were determined theoretically in the energy range 0.015–15 MeV.
