Asymmetric transformation reaction of L-histidine to D-histidine was studied by homemade capillary array electrophoresis for the first time. The enantiomeric excess value of asymmetric histidine products can be directly determined from the electrophoretogram of capillary array electrophoresis. The experiment results showed that the optimized asymmetric transformation reaction condition was in the presence of salicylaldehyde as catalyst and acetic acid as solvent.
