NameN-Acetyl-D-cysteine
SpeciesSaccharomyces cerevisiae
StrainBaker's yeast
DescriptionN-Acetyl-D-cysteine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-acyl-alpha amino acids. N-acyl-alpha amino acids are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an acyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom. N-Acetyl-D-cysteine is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). N-Acetyl-D-cysteine may be a unique S. cerevisiae (yeast) metabolite.
