Abstract
- Cell-free extracts of Neurospora crassamycelium catalyze the methylation of l-histidine to form hercynine (histidine betaine). The partially methylated compounds, α-N-methyl-l-histidine and α-N,N-dimethyl-l-histidine, are also methylated by the same enzyme preparation to form hercynine. All three methylation reactions are stimulated by the addition of S-adenosylmethionine.
