Abstract excerpt
Histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT) catalyzes the N-methylation of histamine in mammals. The experimentally determined HNMT three-dimensional (3D) structure is not available. However, there is a common genetic polymorphism for human HNMT (Thr105Ile) that reduces enzymatic activity and is a risk factor for asthma. To obtain insights into mechanisms responsible for the effects of that polymorphism on enzymatic...
