N-Acetyl-S-(2-cyanoethyl)-L-cysteine-d3

Description:

N-Acetyl-S-(2-cyanoethyl)-L-cysteine-d3 is a chemically modified derivative of the amino acid L-cysteine, specifically labeled with deuterium (d3) isotopes. This compound features an acetyl group attached to the nitrogen of the cysteine side chain, enhancing its stability and solubility. The presence of the 2-cyanoethyl group introduces a cyano functional group, which can participate in various chemical reactions, making it useful in synthetic organic chemistry and biochemistry. The deuterium labeling allows for applications in mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy, providing insights into metabolic pathways and molecular interactions. This compound is typically used in research settings, particularly in studies involving protein synthesis, drug development, and metabolic tracing. Its unique structural features contribute to its reactivity and functionality in various biochemical applications. As with many cysteine derivatives, it may also exhibit antioxidant properties, which can be beneficial in biological systems. Proper handling and storage conditions are essential to maintain its integrity and reactivity.
