Difference between Cysteine and Cystine

Cysteine vs. Cystine

Cysteine (symbol Cys or C) is a semi-essential proteinogenic amino acid with the formula HO2CCH(NH2)CH2SH. Cystine is the oxidized dimer form of the amino acid cysteine and has the formula (SCH2CH(NH2)CO2H)2.

Similarities between Cysteine and Cystine

Cysteine and Cystine have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Acetylcysteine, Amino acid, Chemical formula, Cystinuria, Disulfide, Protein, Sullivan reaction, Thiol.

Acetylcysteine

Acetylcysteine, also known as N-acetylcysteine (NAC), is a medication that is used to treat paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose, and to loosen thick mucus in individuals with cystic fibrosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
