Dear collegues!
I am working with purification of a recombinant His-tagged protein 
using Ni-NTA column. I am wondering if there is any difference in 
using imidazole vs. L-histidine for elution? Imidazole is cheaper 
but, as I heard, it can influence activity of my protein, so 
L-histidine is more recommended. Can it be so?
Thanx in advance

Nikolai
