Four enantioselective, potentiometric membrane electrodes based on carbon paste impregnated with α-, β-, 2-hydroxyl-3-trimethylammoniopropyl-β-(as chloride salt) and γ-cyclodextrins (γ-CDs) are proposed for the assay of L-histidine (L-his). The proposed electrodes showed near-Nernstian response over L-his but not over D-histidine (D-his). The recovery of L-his in the presence of D-his was higher than 99.10% with R.S.D. lower than 0.1%. The surfaces of the electrodes are easily renewable by simply polishing on an alumina paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
