Methyl acetyl-L-cysteinate（Cat No.:I043112）is a modified form of the amino acid cysteine, where the thiol group is protected by an acetyl group and a methyl group. This modification enhances the stability of cysteine, preventing unwanted reactions during peptide synthesis and chemical reactions. Methyl acetyl-L-cysteinate is commonly used in peptide and protein synthesis, particularly when incorporating cysteine into complex biomolecules. It provides better solubility and reactivity control, making it useful in studies involving disulfide bond formation, redox reactions, and the development of novel therapeutic peptides or bioactive compounds.
