Coined/History
Arginine was isolated by Swiss chemist Ernst Schulze in
1886 from extracts of etiolated seedlings and by Hedin in 1895 by animal protein (horn). Finally its structure was not proven
until 1910 by Sorenson. Schulze decided this name because of the silvery white appearance of the arginine nitrate.
