Production of cysteine: approaches, challenges and potential solution

Cysteine has a wide application in pharmaceutical, foods and cosmetic industries. In the biological system, through its unique properties of sulfur and thiol, cysteine also plays important roles in stability, structure, catalytic activity,and regulation of numerous proteins. In nature, cysteine can...
