Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + L-histidine + beta-alanine = AMP + diphosphate + carnosine. Catalysis of the ligation of an acid to an amino acid via a carbon-nitrogen bond with concomitant breakage of a diphosphate linkage, usually in a nucleoside triphosphate. Catalysis of the ligation of two substances via a carbon-nitrogen bond with concomitant breakage of a diphosphate linkage, usually in a nucleoside triphosphate.
