D-Histidine Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white crystalline powder

Uses

D-Histidine is the unnatural, biologically inactive isomer of L-Histidine (H456010). D-histidine is known to inhibit cell division, and is also used by certain types of bacteria (such as Escherichia coli) as a source of L-Histidine.

Definition

ChEBI: An optically active form of histidine having D-configuration.

Biochem/physiol Actions

D-Histidine may be used in the design of peptide drugs, cationic peptides, such as analogues of carnosine. D-Histidine may also be used as a heavy metal sequestration agent.
