The Raman spectra of L‐histidine, L‐histidine‐ 13 C (labelled at C 2 of the imidazole ring) and related compounds, namely, imidazole, 4‐methylimidazole, N‐acetyl‐L‐histidine methylamide, were observed in H 2 O and D 2 O solutions at various pH and pD values. A strong Raman band at around 1410 cm −1 was found for these compounds in acidic D 2 O solutions, and it was assigned to a mode characteristic of the N‐deuterated imidazolium ring (Im + ) in which the N 1 C 2 N 3 symmetric stretching and ND bending vibrations are mixed. It is concluded that this band would be useful as a probe for studying the ionization states of histidine residues in proteins.
