Abstract

has been shown by Mackay and Shepherd that the cyclization product is an inhibitor of histidine decarboxylase." In reversed micelles, the rate of cyclization was also appreciably affected by the water content (Figure 1). The apparent pseudo-first-order rate constant kobd consists of the formation constant for the Schiff base, K, and the specific rate constant for the cyclization, k,(eq 1). The K value of Schiff base formation between pyri-K [histidine]= kCK [ ...
