ChEBI: Cysteic acid is an amino sulfonic acid that is the sulfonic acid analogue of cysteine. It has a role as an animal metabolite. It is an alanine derivative, an amino sulfonic acid, a carboxyalkanesulfonic acid, a cysteine derivative and a non-proteinogenic alpha-amino acid. | [Purification Methods]
Likely impurities are cystine and oxides of cysteine. Crystallise the acid from water by adding 2 volumes of EtOH. It crystallises from H2O as the monohydrate. When recrystallised from aqueous MeOH it has m 264-266o, and the anhydrous acid has m ~260o(dec).
