Substitution of Sulfur-Containing Amino Carbonic Acids, Peptides, and Protein Corpuscles with Chlorine. 6. Synthesis of Substituted 2-Amino-2-Carboxyethanolsulfonamides

This 1971 study explores the chemical modification of sulfur-containing amino acids, peptides, and proteins through chlorination, leading to the synthesis of substituted 2-amino-2-carboxyethanolsulfonamides. The research focuses on the substitution reactions involving chlorine and sulfur-containing functional groups, aiming to understand the structural and functional implications of such modifications. The synthesized compounds

The sulfur-containing amino acids: an overview

This review article discusses the roles of sulfur-containing amino acids—methionine, cysteine, homocysteine, and taurine—in human biochemistry. Methionine, an essential amino acid, is involved in methylation reactions and protein synthesis, while cysteine plays a crucial role in protein structure and is the precursor for glutathione and taurine. The metabolism of homocysteine,
