(H-Homocys-OH)₂
Supplier: BACHEM AMERICAS INC
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.
