H-D-Pra-OH is a chemical substance that inhibits the synthesis of proteins. It binds to the active site of enzymes, thereby blocking the formation of an enzyme-substrate complex and inhibiting enzyme activity. H-D-Pra-OH is an enzyme inhibitor that can be used to study protein synthesis in vitro. It is most effective on renal proximal tubules cells, where it inhibits potassium uptake by competitive inhibition with d-alanine. H-D-Pra-OH also inhibits the uptake of aziridine, which is a reactive substance that can cause cellular damage. The carbonyl group in this substance may react with other substances such as potassium dichromate, forming a chromium compound that can be seen under the microscope.
