S-(Diphenylmethyl)-L-cysteine

Description:
S-(Diphenylmethyl)-L-cysteine, with the CAS number 5191-80-0, is a sulfur-containing amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of a diphenylmethyl group attached to the sulfur atom of the cysteine backbone. This compound is notable for its chiral nature, as it contains an L-cysteine configuration, which is essential for its biological activity. It typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, though its solubility can vary based on the specific conditions. The diphenylmethyl group enhances its hydrophobic characteristics, which can influence its interactions in biological systems. S-(Diphenylmethyl)-L-cysteine is often used in biochemical research, particularly in studies involving protein synthesis and enzyme inhibition, due to its ability to form disulfide bonds and participate in redox reactions. Its unique structure allows it to serve as a valuable tool in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and in the study of cysteine-related biochemical pathways.
