| The unique disulfide/thiols role (the cystine/cysteine coupling) not only preserves the delivery of cysteine to its intracellular role in glutathione synthesis, but this coupling also neutralizes cysteine's toxicity, high oxidizability and high activity during its plasma transport until the cysteine can be delivered to an intracellular site. Intracellularly, cysteine can be synthesized into glutathione, other peptides, proteases and proteins. Patent achievements have been issued that achieve biochemically and economically the optimal delivery and synthesis utilization of the (cysteine/sulfydryl moiety).The synthesis enables cysteine to be incorporated into and utilized by the glutathione antioxidant molecule. Cysteine, a sulfhydryl (SH), is the highly functional moiety, when it is a constituent of glutathione. Glutathione via SH is the salient protector of cells and genes, and it facilitates gene repair. How the SH group functions to detoxify oxyradicals and toxic metals and functions as a cell and gene protector will be presented. |
