Figure 1. pHis Isomers and Structural Analogs.
Structural drawings of (A) the phosphoester amino acids; pSer, pThr and pTyr are contrasted with (B) histidine, 3-phosphohistidine (3-pHis) and 1-phosphohistidine (1-pHis). Examples of phosphohistidine structural analogs designed for antibody generation include; (C) phosphofurylalanine and the two phosphoryltriazolylalanine analogs (3-pTza) and (1-pTza). (D) Second-generation, pyrazole-based pHis analogs; 4-Phosphopyrazol-2-yl alanine (pPza) and phosphono-pyrazolyl ethylamine (pPye).
