A Convenient and Label-Free Colorimetric Detection for L-Histidine Based on Inhibition of Oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-Tetramethylbenzidine-H2O2 System Triggered by Copper Ions

L-Histidine (L-His) is an essential amino acid, which is used to synthesize proteins and enzymes. The concentration of L-His in the body is controlled to regulate tissue growth and repair of tissues. In this study, a rapid and sensitive method was developed for colorimetric L-his detection using Cu2...
