Histidine decarboxylase (HDC) from Lactobacillus 30a converts histidine to histamine, a process that enables the bacteria to maintain the optimum pH range for cell growth. HDC is regulated by pH; it is active at low pH and inactive at neutral

Gas-phase H/D exchange experiments with CD3OD and D2O and quantum chemical ab initio G3(MP2) calculations were carried out on protonated histidine and protonated histidine methyl ester in order to elucidate their bonding and structure. The H/D exchange experiments show that

Two kinds of novel chiral molecular tweezers containing imidazoliums were synthesized from L-alanine, L-phenylalanine, and L-glutamic acid. They are constructed by the chiral imidazolium pincers and two different spacers which are 1,3-bis (bromomethyl)benzene and 2,6-bis(bromomethyl)pyridine, respectively. The enantioselective recognition of
Synthesis of a novel zwitterionic biodegradable poly (α,β-L-aspartic acid) derivative with some L-histidine side-residues and its resistance to non-specific protein adsorption
