Question
In the physiological pH range, the nitrogen in the imidazole ring can be easily protonated/deprotonated. This allows the histidine side chain to—
function as either a general acid catalyst or a general base catalyst. |
||
act as a strong reducing agent. |
||
interact with the guanidino group. |
||
either gain or lose a single electron. |
||
bind either H+ or OH-. |
