Conversion of Histidine to Hercynine by Neurospora crassa

Cell-free extracts of Neurospora crassa mycelium 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 m...
