Novel sulfur and selenium containing bis-α-amino acids from 4-hydroxyproline [PDF]
, 2010 The synthesis of new substituted prolines carrying at C-4 a second α-amino acid residue is reported. The amino acid, l-cysteine or l-selenocysteine, is linked to the proline ring through the sulfur or the selenium atom, respectively.

Regulation of Sulfur Amino Acid Metabolism in Men in Response to Changes in Sulfur Amino Acid Intakes [PDF]
The Journal of Nutrition, 2003 We showed previously that 64% of the total dietary sulfur amino acid (SAA) requirement could be supported by dietary cysteine (Cys). However, the observation of such a sparing effect may be affected by the dietary intakes of SAA provided. The aim of this study was to compare methionine (Met) metabolism and transsulfuration (TS) in five healthy men fed ...
