H-Cys(Z)-OH

Description:
H-Cys(Z)-OH, also known as Z-Cysteine, is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine, characterized by the presence of a protective Z (benzyloxycarbonyl) group on the amino group. This modification enhances the stability and solubility of the molecule, making it useful in peptide synthesis and other biochemical applications. The structure includes a thiol (-SH) group, which is crucial for forming disulfide bonds, thereby playing a significant role in protein structure and function. H-Cys(Z)-OH is typically a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in water and organic solvents, depending on the pH. It is often used in research and pharmaceutical applications due to its ability to participate in redox reactions and its role as a precursor in the synthesis of various biologically active compounds. Safety data indicates that, like many thiol-containing compounds, it should be handled with care to avoid potential skin and respiratory irritation.
