Glycine, L-cysteinyl-,monohydrochloride (9CI)

Description:

Glycine, L-cysteinyl-, monohydrochloride (9CI), with the CAS number 2601-47-0, is a chemical compound that serves as a derivative of the amino acids glycine and cysteine. It is characterized by its role as a building block in protein synthesis and is notable for containing a thiol group, which imparts unique reactivity and properties. This compound is typically encountered as a white crystalline powder, soluble in water, and exhibits a slightly acidic pH in solution due to the presence of the hydrochloride salt. Glycine itself is the simplest amino acid, while cysteine contributes to the formation of disulfide bonds in proteins, enhancing their structural stability. The monohydrochloride form indicates the presence of one hydrochloric acid molecule associated with the amino acid, which can influence its solubility and stability. Glycine, L-cysteinyl-, monohydrochloride is often utilized in biochemical research, pharmaceuticals, and as a nutritional supplement, owing to its potential antioxidant properties and role in cellular metabolism.
