The chemical name of cysteine (Cys) is 2-amino-3-mercaptopropionic acid, which is the polarity of aliphatic sulfhydryl group α- amino acid. Cysteine is a conditionally necessary amino acid and raw sugar amino acid for the human body. It can be transformed from methionine (methionine, an essential amino acid for the human body) in the body and can be transformed with cystine. [3]
HSCH2CH (NH2) COOH, (C3H7NSO2) contains sulfur α- One of the amino acids, it is purple in the presence of nitroprusside (colored by SH), and exists in many proteins and glutathione. It can form insoluble mercaptans with Ag+, Hg+, Cu+and other metal ions. That is, R-S-M ′, R-S-M ″ - S-R (M ′, M ″ are 1-valent and 2-valent metals respectively). Cysteine is a nonessential amino acid. In animals, it is synthesized from methionine and serine through cystathionine. Inorganic sulfur (from sulfate) is introduced into cysteine. In plants and bacteria, H2S generated from the reduction of sulfuric acid through 3 '- adenosine phosphate 5' - phosphate sulfuric acid and sulfite is generated by reacting with O-acetylserine or serine.
Cysteine is decomposed into pyruvate, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia under anaerobic conditions through the action of hydrogen desulfurizing enzyme, or through transamination, via intermediate products β- Mercaptopyruvic acid is decomposed into pyruvic acid and sulfur. Under oxidation conditions, it is oxidized into cysteine sulfurous acid, which can be decomposed into pyruvic acid and sulfurous acid by transamination, and into taurine and taurine by decarboxylation. In addition, cysteine is an unstable compound, which is easy to redox and convert with cystine. It can also be condensed with toxic aromatic compounds to form mercapturic acid for detoxification. [4]
Cysteine is a naturally produced amino acid, which has many uses in food processing. It is mainly used in baking products as an essential component of dough improver
Cysteine is a reducing agent, which can promote the formation of gluten, reduce the time required for mixing and the energy required for medicine. Cysteine weakens the structure of protein by changing the disulfide bond between and within protein molecules, so that the protein will expand.

Cysteine in the body contains sulfhydryl group (- SH), while Cystine contain Disulfide bond (- S-S -), which can be transformed into each other. When cysteine is decomposed in vivo, there are several ways:
① Direct removal Mercapto group and amino , generating pyruvic acid NH3 and H2S H2S is oxidized to H2SO4.
② Thiol oxidation Sulphinyl group And then remove the amino group and sulfinyl group, and finally generate pyruvic acid and Sulfite The latter can be changed into sulfuric acid after oxidation.
③ Another metabolite of cysteine is taurine, which is bile acid Bile acid salt, a component of, helps to promote the digestion and absorption of lipids.
④ Cysteine is also synthetic glutamine Raw materials. glutathione (glutathion) is created by glutamate , cysteine and glycine The tripeptide biosynthesis No encoded RNA is required. It is associated with an amino acid transport system called "g-glutamyl cycle".

L-cysteine It is a kind of amino acid It is the only one of more than 20 amino acids that make up protein Reducibility The amino acid with thiol group (- SH) has been widely used in medicine, food additives and cosmetics. In 2002, the world's demand for cysteine reached 4400-4600 tons, increasing at an annual rate of 2-3%. The growth rate of demand in Western Europe reached 3-4%, while that in Japan was 2%. At present, the production of L-cysteine mainly depends on the acid hydrolysis or alkali hydrolysis of human or animal hair L-Cystine After, after electrolysis L-cysteine was prepared by reduction. This method has the advantages of low yield, high energy consumption, large amount of irritating gas generated during hydrolysis, difficult treatment of waste acid, and serious environmental pollution. With the development of L-cysteine production technology, it is produced by microbial transformation L-cysteine It gradually replaced the hydrolysis of hair to prepare L-cysteine. Microbial transformation method The preparation process has attracted more and more attention due to its mild reaction conditions, strong specificity and environmental friendliness. WACKER, a German company, has successfully commercialized the production of L-cysteine by fermentation, and its annual output has reached 30% of the world's total output. It is believed that in the near future, the production of L-cysteine by hydrolysis of L-cysteine, which is the leading method in China, will become history
