When Does a amino group in a organic molecule act as a base?

Isn't it when when there is too much acid in the body? Or does it act as a base all the time?|||When it has a "basic R group" and it's in aqueous solution.

See arginine, histidine, lysine.|||Since you're talking about the body, which is mostly water, it acts like a base all the time.
