Description

white to off-white powder


DryPowder


Cystine is a sulfur-containing amino acid obtained by the oxidation of two cysteine molecules which are then linked via a disulfide bond. It has a role as a human metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is an organic disulfide, a sulfur-containing amino acid and a cysteine derivative. It is a tautomer of a cystine zwitterion.|A covalently linked dimeric nonessential amino acid formed by the oxidation of CYSTEINE. Two molecules of cysteine are joined together by a disulfide bridge to form cystine.


cystine: A molecule resulting fromthe oxidation reaction between thesulphydryl (-SH) groups of two cysteine molecules .This often occurs between adjacentcysteine residues in polypeptides.The resultant disulphide bridges(-S-S-) are important in stabilizingthe structure of protein molecules.

DL-Cystine Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Using L-cystine as a raw material, refluxing in 6mol/L hydrochloric acid for several hours, active carbon treatment, concentration, ammonia water neutralization to obtain crude cystine, and then recrystallization to obtain a pure product.

Uses

Used as a biochemical reagent


Fillers


Food Products


Cystine is a nonessential amino acid that acts as a nutrient and dietary supplement. It is very slightly soluble in water and in alcohol. it improves the biological quality of the total protein in foods containing naturally occurring intact protein.


DL-cystine is used in the preparation of sulfur-containing dimeric and monomeric surfactants.
