Hystidine

The functional groups of the enzyme involved in the chemical bonding are the TV-terminal and s-amino groups (from lysine) as well as the carboxy-(aspartic or glutamic acid), sulfhydryl- (cysteine), hydroxyl- (serine, threonine), indole (tryptophan), imidazole (hystidine) and phenolic (tyrosine) functions. 

Polymer ligand a) poly(4-vinylpyridine), b) poly(L-lysine), c) poly(L-hystidine), d) poly-(ethyleneimine), e) poly(acrylic acid). 

During last decades the domains C-2 symmetry (the dyad rotation symmetry) of low-B palindrome was established in many enzymes (chymotrypsin, trypsin, aspartyl proteinases, HIV-1 protease, carboxypeptidase A, phospholipase A-2 ribonuclease, etc.) (Lumry, 2002 and references therein). It is proposed that the pair domain closure causes constrain of pretransition state complex that activates cleavage or formation of chemical bonds. Thus control of strong bonds by the cooperation of many matrix or knots bonds takes place. As an example, in the active site of carboxypeptidase A the zinc ion is attached to one of the catalytic domains by histidine 69 and glutamine 72 and connected by hystidine 196 to the second domain. Similar structures were found in the chymotrypsin and pepsin active sites where protons are driven under compression of the domains closure. 

Updated from Schroder and Klink [34]. The hystidine which is post-translationally converted to diphthamide is marked by an asterisk. 

Ionic liquids share parts of their molecular architectures with molecules that had been parameterized by existing force-field frameworks (AMBER, OPLS, CHARMM, etc.) for example imidazolium rings are present in hystidine, an amino acid. However ionic liquids have one essential difference they are composed of ions, and although they may be built by the same functional groups, the distributions of electrostatic charge will be specific. In order to represent correctly the structure and interactions of these new compounds, the sets of parameters that determine charge distributions and conformations (at the least) had to be developed for this class of substances. 

By acid hydrolysis with HCl, ten amino acids were obtained from the peat humic acids cystine, lysine, hystidine, arginine, aspartic acid, serine, glycine, glutamic acid, threonine and alanine. Proposals for the structure of humic acids have also been published of these, the structure of the humic acid according to Ludmila (1936) [51] is presented ...
