2-amino-4-[(2-amino-2-carboxyethyl)sulfanyl]butanoic acid dihydrochloride

Description:

2-amino-4-[(2-amino-2-carboxyethyl)sulfanyl]butanoic acid dihydrochloride, commonly known as cysteine, is an amino acid characterized by the presence of a thiol (-SH) group, which plays a crucial role in protein structure and function. This compound is a polar, water-soluble substance, and its dihydrochloride form indicates the presence of two hydrochloric acid molecules associated with the amino acid, enhancing its solubility in aqueous solutions. Cysteine is essential for the synthesis of proteins and is involved in various metabolic processes, including the formation of disulfide bonds that stabilize protein structures. It also acts as a precursor for the synthesis of glutathione, a vital antioxidant in the body. The presence of both amino and carboxyl functional groups makes it an α-amino acid, allowing it to participate in peptide bond formation. Cysteine's unique properties, including its ability to form covalent bonds through its thiol group, contribute to its importance in biochemistry and molecular biology.
