Description

DL-Histidine is an enantiopure antibiotic complex that is a proton donor. It is primarily used to treat bacterial infections. DL-Histidine inhibits bacterial growth by acting as a competitive inhibitor of the proton donor in the enzyme histidine decarboxylase and preventing the production of histamine, which is required for bacterial cell division. The molecular modeling study showed that DL-histidine has a linear plot with a high signal detection level, which makes it suitable for sample preparation. The crystalline cellulose molecule was found to form hydrogen bonds with the histidine molecule, which may have an effect on its activity.
