QUICK LINKS
L-Cysteic acid is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine that has a role as an Escherichia coli metabolite and a human metabolite. It occurs normally in the outer part of a sheep′s fleece, where the wool is exposed to light and weather. L-Cysteic acid can be used to study oxidation processes, specifically those related to the transformation of cysteine thiol groups. It provides insight into oxidative stress pathways and how certain cells may cope with or respond to such stress. L-Cysteic acid can also serve as a substrate or inhibitor for certain enzymes. While not one of the standard amino acids, L-Cysteic acid can be incorporated into synthetic peptides for studies, either to introduce a specific reactive sulfinic group or to investigate its role in peptide structure and function. The sulfinic acid group in L-Cysteic acid can interact with trace metals, so L-Cysteic acid can be used to study these interactions, which can have implications in areas like metal toxicity, chelation, and enzymology.
