Usage

Description

BOC-D-Cysteine (Boc-D-Cys-OH) is an N-Boc-protected form of D-Cysteine, a non-physiological isomer of L-Cysteine. It is characterized by its strong inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli growth and its role in providing inorganic sulfates for the sulfation of xenobiotics. Unlike L-Cysteine, D-Cysteine is not involved in protein or glutathione synthesis.
