Cysteine (symbol Cys or C; [5] / ˈ s ɪ s t ɪ iː n /) [6] is a semiessential [7] proteinogenic amino acid with the formula HOOC−CH(−NH 2)−CH 2 −SH. The thiol side chain in cysteine enables the formation of disulfide bonds, and often participates in enzymatic reactions as a nucleophile. Cysteine is chiral, but both D and L-cysteine ...
Chemical formula: C 3 H 7 N O 2 S Molar mass: 121.16 g·mol −1 Systematic name: (2R)-2-amino-3-sulfanyl-propanoic acid Abbreviations: C, Cys Synonyms: 2-amino-3-mercaptopropanoic acid
Cystine is the oxidized derivative of the amino acid cysteine and has the formula (SCH 2 CH(NH 2)CO 2 H) 2.It is a white solid that is poorly soluble in water. As a residue in proteins, cystine serves two functions: a site of redox reactions and a mechanical linkage that allows proteins to retain their three-dimensional structure.
The tables below provides information on the variation of solubility of different substances (mostly inorganic compounds) in water with temperature, at one atmosphere pressure. Units of solubility are given in grams of substance per 100 millilitres of water (g/(100 mL)), unless shown otherwise. The substances are listed in alphabetical order.
Cysteamine is an organosulfur compound with the formula HSCH 2 CH 2 NH 2.A white, water-soluble solid, it contains both an amine and a thiol functional groups. It is often used as salts of the ammonium derivative [HSCH 2 CH 2 NH 3] + [12] including the hydrochloride, phosphocysteamine, and the bitartrate. [13]
TCEP is available from various chemical suppliers as the hydrochloride salt. When dissolved in water, TCEP-HCl is acidic. A reported preparation is a 0.5 M TCEP-HCl aqueous stock solution that is pH adjusted to near-neutral pH and stored frozen at -20˚C. [12] TCEP is reportedly less stable in phosphate buffers. [12]
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
Cystamine (2,2'-dithiobisethanamine) is an organic disulfide.It is formed when cystine is heated, the result of decarboxylation.Cystamine is an unstable liquid and is generally handled as the dihydrochloride salt, C 4 H 12 N 2 S 2 ·2HCl, which is stable to 203-214 °C at which point it decomposes.
