Cysteine, ethyl ester, hydrochloride (1:1)

Description:
Cysteine, ethyl ester, hydrochloride (1:1) is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine, characterized by the presence of an ethyl ester group and a hydrochloride salt form. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder, which is soluble in water due to the hydrochloride component. It is known for its role in biochemical applications, particularly in the synthesis of peptides and proteins, as well as in various research contexts involving thiol chemistry. The ethyl ester modification enhances its lipophilicity, potentially improving its absorption and bioavailability in biological systems. Cysteine itself is a sulfur-containing amino acid that plays a crucial role in protein structure and function, particularly in the formation of disulfide bonds. As a hydrochloride salt, this compound is often used in laboratory settings and may have applications in pharmaceuticals, particularly in formulations requiring stable amino acid derivatives. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances.
