L-Cystine (CAS 56-89-3)
QUICK LINKS
L-Cystine is an amino acid that plays a significant role in protein science and structural biology research. It is particularly noted for its ability to form disulfide bonds, which are for the stabilization of tertiary and quaternary protein structures. In the laboratory, L-cystine is studied for its contributions to the folding and stability of proteins, and these insights are valuable in understanding the mechanisms of protein misfolding and aggregation. Additionally, L-cystine is used in studies that focus on redox biology, given its involvement in cellular redox homeostasis and signaling pathways through its interconversion with the reduced form, L-cysteine. It is also a subject of interest in the field of materials science, where L-cystine-based materials are explored for their potential applications in biotechnology and nanotechnology, such as the development of biocompatible polymers and chemical delivery systems.
