Term Name:	protein histidyl modification to diphthamide
Synonyms:	peptidyl-diphthamide anabolism from peptidyl-histidine, peptidyl-diphthamide biosynthetic process from peptidyl-histidine, peptidyl-diphthamide formation from peptidyl-histidine, peptidyl-diphthamide synthesis from peptidyl-histidine
Definition:	The modification of peptidyl-histidine to 2'-(3-carboxamido-3-(trimethylammonio)propyl)-L-histidine, known as diphthamide, found in translation elongation factor EF-2. The process occurs in eukaryotes and archaea but not eubacteria.
