Poly-L-histidine is a polypeptide that has gained significant attention in the field of biomaterials research due to its pH-sensitive properties. This polymer′s imidazole side chains, which resemble the amino acid histidine, allow it to interact with proton donors and acceptors, making it a prime candidate for developing chemical delivery systems that respond to the acidic environments typically found in certain cellular compartments or pathological sites. In tissue engineering, the thermosensitive behavior of poly-L-histidine has been explored as a means to create scaffolds that undergo conformational changes at body temperature, thereby providing support for cell attachment and growth. Its ability to chelate metal ions also makes it an interesting molecule for creating novel materials with applications in biomineralization and the construction of biosensors. Moreover, researchers utilize poly-L-histidine in the study of protein-protein interactions, as its repeating histidine units can mimic certain aspects of natural recognition processes.
