Abstract
The histidine decarboxylase from Lactobacillus 30a was obtained in crystalline and apparently homogeneous form. Only L-histidine serves as substrate; several imidazole compounds are effective competitive inhibitors. Cyanide inhibits noncompetitively. The spectrum of the pure enzyme is that of a simple protein; the enzyme is not dependent upon pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor unlike other amino-acid decarboxylases.Keywords
