“…While several assays that allow cysteine quantification have been reported, concomitant er determination is often not possible. 7 In our search for an optical probe that could overcome this limitation and allow quantification of the concentration and enantiomeric composition of cysteine in the presence of other amino acids including homocysteine, we found that phenacyl bromides have been used to synthesize unsaturated thiomorpholines 8 and other closely related pharmacophores with medicinal applications, Fig. 1.…”
A chromophoric bifunctional probe design that allows selective chiroptical sensing of cysteine in aqueous solution is introduced. The common need for chiral HPLC separation is eliminated which expedites and simplifies...

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
