L-Cysteine, N-(1-carboxyethyl)-S-(phenylmethyl)-, hydrobromide

Description:
L-Cysteine, N-(1-carboxyethyl)-S-(phenylmethyl)-, hydrobromide, identified by CAS number 89083-49-8, is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine, which is known for its role in protein synthesis and as a precursor to the antioxidant glutathione. This compound features a carboxyethyl group and a phenylmethyl (benzyl) substituent, which contribute to its unique chemical properties. It is typically encountered as a hydrobromide salt, enhancing its solubility in aqueous solutions. The presence of the thiol (-SH) group in cysteine derivatives allows for redox reactions and the formation of disulfide bonds, which are crucial in maintaining protein structure. L-Cysteine derivatives are often studied for their potential applications in pharmaceuticals, biochemistry, and as biochemical reagents. Additionally, they may exhibit antioxidant properties and play a role in cellular signaling. As with many amino acid derivatives, the stability, reactivity, and biological activity can be influenced by the specific functional groups attached to the cysteine backbone.
