cystine

It works by reducing the amount of cystine in the kidneys.

Hair has an unusually high content of a particular amino acid called cystine.

Cystine is a double amino acid, so to speak.

Cystine crystallizes in these cells and slowly destroys the organs.

Human hair contains approximately 5% cystine by mass.

It is also used to reduce cystine in the urine and to treat severe rheumatoid arthritis.

It contains a small amount of cystine.

It is formed when cystine is heated, the result of decarboxylation.

Cystine was discovered in 1810, although its monomer, cysteine, remained undiscovered until 1884.

Children with this condition develop a build-up of cystine in the kidneys, which can lead to kidney failure and other medical problems.

The remainder are made primarily of uric acid, struvite, or cystine.

Like taurine, cystine is a critical protein builder contained in breast milk.

Medicinally, it may be used to control kidney stones derived from either uric acid or cystine.

Histidine, glycine, cystine, and lysine are, however, not readily used.

Penicillamine should not be used during pregnancy except to treat Wilson's disease and some cases of cystine in the urine.

Penicillamine may be used to prevent kidney stones in people with high levels of cystine in their urine.

Definitive diagnosis and treatment monitoring are most often performed through measurement of white blood cell cystine level using tandem mass spectrometry.

Methionine, cysteine and cystine are, however, limiting amino acids in cassava root.

These proteins contain a high level of L-DOPA and cystine.

After washing, the hair is treated with a mild solution of hydrogen peroxide, which oxidizes the cysteines back to cystine.

In this environment, cysteines are, in general, oxidized to cystine and no longer functional as a nucleophiles.

Aside from its oxidation to cystine, cysteine participates in numerous posttranslational modifications.

These include cystine, lysine, arginine, and ornithine.

Histidine, Glycine, Cystine and Lysine are however, not readily utilised.

Cysteine (sis'tih-een; because it is chemically related to cystine).
