What is the significance of sodium-nitroprusside test?
This test is performed to test the presence of cysteine in the test solution (protein solution)
Which two amino acids contain a sulfur atom?
The sulfur containing amino acids that are found in proteins are cysteine and methionine.
What does cysteine desulfurase catalyze?
From Wikipedia:In enzymology, a cysteine desulfurase (EC2.8.1.7) is an enzyme thatcatalyzesthe chemical reactionL-cysteine + [enzyme]-cysteine L-alanine + [enzyme]-S-sulfanylcysteine Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-cysteine and [[[enzyme]-cysteine]], whereas its two products are L-alanine and [[[enzyme]-S-sulfanylcysteine]].This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically the sulfurtransferases, which transfer sulfur-containing groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-cysteine:[enzyme cysteine] sulfurtransferase. Other names in common use include IscS, NIFS, NifS,SufS, and cysteine desulfurylase. This enzyme participates in thiamine metabolism.
Would cysteine test positive in a biuret test?
no! no change in colour confirms presence of cysteine
Is Cysteine organic?
organic

What is chemical formula for cysteine?
The chemical formula of cysteine is HO2CCH(NH2)CH2SH.
Why is cysteine unique among the amino acids?
Cysteine has a sulfide group attached to it and so can form very strong Di-sulfide bonds with other cysteine molecules.
Is Cysteine organic?
organic
Identify the significance of cysteine in its formation of disulfide bonds?
Chains of amino acids (forming proteins) fold as cysteines in different places attach to each other (its the only amino acid that can form a disulfide bond with another cysteine). Original Answer: lol , IB Biology 11. Biozone: Senior Biology 1 page 58 question #8
What food has the chemical cysteine in it?
bannanas
