S-(Carboxymethyl)-D-cysteine

Description:
S-(Carboxymethyl)-D-cysteine, with the CAS number 50698-76-5, is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine, characterized by the addition of a carboxymethyl group to the sulfur atom of the cysteine side chain. This modification enhances its solubility in water and can influence its reactivity and biological activity. The compound typically exists as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents due to its carboxylic acid functional group. It is often studied for its potential applications in biochemistry and medicinal chemistry, particularly in the context of antioxidant activity and metal chelation. The presence of both thiol and carboxylate functional groups allows it to participate in various biochemical reactions, including redox processes. Additionally, S-(Carboxymethyl)-D-cysteine may play a role in the synthesis of peptides and proteins, contributing to the understanding of cysteine's role in biological systems. As with many cysteine derivatives, it is important to handle this compound with care due to its potential reactivity and biological implications.
