General description

Boc-L-cysteine (Boc-Cys-OH) is a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) grade chromatographic solvent.

Application

Boc-L-cysteine (Boc-Cys-OH) can may be used as a chromatographic solvent, in an experimental study done to study the biosynthesis of S-(3-hexan-1-ol)-glutathione (3MH-S-glut) and S-(3-hexan-l-ol)-L-cysteine (3MH-S-cys), which act as flavour precursors in wines, in Vitis vinifera grapes exposed to various environmental stress.

Other Notes

Chiral derivatizing agent used together with OPA for assaying the enantiomeric purity of amino acids

The concurrent determination of free amino acid enantiomers and non-chiral amino acids in rat brain and serum was accomplished by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorimetric detection after derivatization with N-tert.-butyloxycarbonyl-L-cysteine and o-phthaldialdehyde. The method revealed the presence of a large
