The process is as follows:
The process is as follows:


-extraction of one proton and one hydride from L-histidinol[1]
1. extraction of one proton and one hydride from L-histidinol


-reduced NADH leaves and replaced by NAD+
2. reduced NADH leaves and replaced by NAD+


-repeat the first step
3. repeat the first step


-His-327 abstracts a proton from the hydroxyl group, and the second NAD+ molecule is reduced by a hydride
4. His-327 abstracts a proton from the hydroxyl group, and the second NAD+ molecule is reduced by a hydride
