Abstract
Histidine-containing dipeptides inhibit highly purified tyrosine hydroxylase. The degree of inhibition is dependent on the peptide structure and decreases according to the following sequence: carnosine>anserine>homocarnosine. This effect is not associated with the buffer and antioxidant properties of the dipeptide.
