(H-Homocys-OH)₂
Supplier: BACHEM AMERICAS INC
Synonyms:
H-HoCystine-OH, (2S)-2-Amino-4-[[(3S)-3-amino-4-hydroxy-4-oxo-butyl]disulphanyl]butanoic acid, (H-HoCys-OH)2, (2S)-2-Amino-4-[[(3S)-3-amino-4-hydroxy-4-oxo-butyl]disulfanyl]butanoic acid
Sequence: (H-Homocys-OH)₂
The cysteine homolog is formed by S-demethylation of methionine. Contrary to Cys, Hcy can be incorporated and derivatized without risk of racemization and β-elimination. Base-catalyzed desulfuration of peptides containing a Cys/Hcy mixed disulfide bridge yields cystathionine (carbacystine) peptides.
Synonym(s): L-4,4'-Dithio-bis(2-aminobutanoic acid)
