Cysteine, Glutathione, and Thiol Redox Balance in Astrocytes
This review discusses the current understanding of cysteine and glutathione redox balance in astrocytes. Particular emphasis is placed on the impact of oxidative stress and astrocyte activation on pathways that provide cysteine as a precursor for ...

The effect of pressure on the crystal structure of hexagonal L-cystine [PDF]
The crystal structure of hexagonal L-cystine has been determined at room temperature at pressures between 0.4 and 3.7 GPa; unit-cell dimensions were measured up to 6.4 GPa. The structure of this phase consists of molecules in their zwitterionic form, and

Chronic Sulfasalazine Treatment in Mice Induces System xc− - Independent Adverse Effects
Despite ample evidence for the therapeutic potential of inhibition of the cystine/glutamate antiporter system xc− in neurological disorders and in cancer, none of the proposed inhibitors is selective. In this context, a lot of research has been performed

Urinary felinine excretion in intact male cats is increased by dietary cystine
Felinine is a branched-chain sulfur amino acid present in the urine of certain Felidae, including domestic cats. The objective of the present study was to determine if additional cystine and/or dietary N would increase felinine and N-acetylfelinine ...

The content of non-essential amino acids in the grains of winter and spring varieties of oats (Avena sativa L.) under the conditions of Central Southern Bulgaria [PDF]
The purpose of this survey is to study the content of non-essential amino acids in four winter (Dunav 1, Ruse 8, Resor 1, Line M-K) and five spring (Obraztsov chiflik 4, Mina, HiFi, Novosadski golozarnest and Prista 2) cultivars of oats grown in Central ...

Our understanding of the molecular basis of cystinuria has deepened as the result of the causative genes, SLC3A1 and SLC7A9, being identified. The proteins coded for by these genes form a heterodimer responsible for reabsorption of filtered cystine in the proximal tubule. Failure of this transport system to be targeted to the apical membrane, as in the

DETOXICATION OF CYANIDE BY CYSTINE
SUMMARY Chemical studies on the nature of the reaction product between cystine and cyanide ion support formulation of the structure as 2-imino-4-thiazoli- dinecarboxylic acid. The compound was inert metabolically when fed to the rat or when injected. On treatment with acid, a small amount of thio- cyanate was produced.

Theoretical Study of Nucleophilic Substitution at the Disulfide Bridge of Cyclo-l-cystine
The reaction of cyclo-l-cystine with thiolate is examined at the B3LYP/6-31+G* level. The two isomers of cyclo-l-cystine differ in their dihedral angle about the disulfide bond; the M isomer (with dihedral angle of −90.1°) is found to be slightly lower ...
