Examples of cystine
cystine
This led to an average drop in cystine levels of about 80 percent in every organ.

Cystine, which is a dimer of cysteines, was not included as a drain in biomass.
From the nature.com
Methionine, cysteine and cystine are however limiting amino acids in cassava root.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Kidney stones comprised of L-cystine affect at least 20,000 individuals in the United States.
From the sciencedaily.com
The formation of L-cystine stones is a consequence of excessive levels of L-cystine in the urine.
From the sciencedaily.com
L-cystine forms into crystals, which aggregate into stones, reaching up to a centimeter in diameter.
From the sciencedaily.com
Consequently, the blocking groups obstructed the approach of additional L-cystine molecules to those edges.
From the sciencedaily.com
The disease is characterized by the abnormal accumulation of cystine, an amino acid, in various organs.

Aside from its oxidation to cystine, cysteine participates in numerous posttranslational modifications.
From the en.wikipedia.org
- A crystalline amino acid found in proteins (especially keratin); discovered in bladder stones
- Cystine is the oxidized dimer form of the amino acid cysteine and has formula (SCH2CH(NH2)CO2H)2. It is a white solid that is slightly soluble in water. It serves two biological functions, a site of redox reactions and a mechanical linkage that allows proteins to retain their 3-dimensional structure.
- A pair of bonded cysteine. Two cysteine molecules bonded together offer each other protection against digestion.
- Cystine is a chemical substance which naturally occurs as a deposit in the urine, and can form a calculus (hard mineral formation) when deposited in the kidney.
- An amino acid or ingredient in protein. Significant because in an inherited disorder called cystinuria, very large amounts of cystine can be excreted in the urine where it can form stones. These stones tend to be difficult to treat and require life-long therapy.
- An amino acid that is particularly notable because it is the least soluble of all of the naturally occurring amino acids and because it precipitates out of solution in the genetic disease cystinuria to form stones in the urinary tract. Cystine is the chief sulfur-containing compound in protein. ...
- An amino acid normally reabsorbed by the kidney tubules. Cystinuria is an inherited disease in which the reabsorption of cystine and some other amino acids is defective. Cystine crystals form in the kidney leading to obstructive renal failure.
- A dimmer of two cysteine molecules formed via bonding of the sulfur groups; mw: 240.3
