Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Thialysine, also known as S-Aminoethyl-l-cysteine or ACE, is a toxic analog of the amino acid lysine in which the second carbon of the amino acid's R-group (side chain) has been replaced with a sulfur atom. L-thialysine is known to have cytotoxic affects as it inhibits protein synthesis and lysine 2,3-aminomutase. Thialysine is utilized in protein synthesis and it is incorporated into proteins in place of lysine. is an alternative substrate useful for characterizing lysine cyclodeaminase from Streptomyces pristinaespiralis. AEC may be used as a non-antibiotic selection agent for genetically engineered soybeans expressing a lysine insensitive DHPS gene. AEC is being studied as an amino acid antibiotic.
