D-Cystine (CAS 349-46-2)
QUICK LINKS
D-Cystine is primarily researched for its applications in biochemistry and molecular biology, focusing on its role in protein structure and function. This compound is a dimeric amino acid formed by the oxidation of two cysteine molecules, which creates a disulfide bond that is for the stability of many proteins. Studies involving D-Cystine often examine its behavior in redox reactions and its ability to form and maintain disulfide bridges in proteins, which are essential for proper protein folding and function. Additionally, D-Cystine′s involvement in cellular processes such as signaling and regulation is a key area of investigation. Research also explores how modifications of D-Cystine affect biological systems, which helps in understanding cellular responses to oxidative stress and other environmental factors.
