N-(Aminoiminomethyl)-L-cysteine

Description:

N-(Aminoiminomethyl)-L-cysteine, with the CAS number 40454-21-5, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of both amino and thiol functional groups. This compound features a unique structure that includes an aminoiminomethyl group attached to the cysteine backbone, which contributes to its potential reactivity and biological activity. It is typically a white to off-white solid, soluble in water due to the polar nature of its functional groups. The presence of the thiol group (-SH) allows for the formation of disulfide bonds, making it significant in biochemical processes, particularly in protein structure and function. Additionally, this compound may exhibit antioxidant properties, which can be beneficial in various biological systems. Its applications may extend to research in biochemistry and pharmacology, particularly in studies related to redox biology and cellular signaling. As with many amino acid derivatives, it is essential to handle it with care in laboratory settings, considering its potential reactivity and biological implications.
