The chemistry of the reaction of 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide with his-32 of alpha-lactalbumin. 1978

T E Barman

His-32 of bovine or human alpha-lactalbumin reacts with the tryptophan reagent 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide at pH 7. The reaction depends on the native conformation of the alpha-lactalbumin molecule and it is restricted to position 1 of the imidazole nucleus. The synthesis and characterization of 1-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl)-histidine, 3-(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl)-histidine and 1,3-bis(2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl)-histidine are described.
