Applications
It is potentially useful for proteomics studies, and solid phase peptide synthesis techniques. Cysteine is versatile amino acid involved with many biological processes, including the formation of disulfide bonds - a critical component of protein structure. This compound could be useful as an unusual amino acid analog to aid in the deconvolution of protein structure and function.

Solubility
Insoluble in water. Soluble in most organic solvents.

Notes
Store away from oxidizing agents. Keep the container tightly closed and place it in a cool, dry and well ventilated condition.
