Methionine is an essential amino acid obtained from the diet and serves as a major source of sulfur for the body. It is a thioether, meaning its sulfur atom is bonded to two carbon atoms and does not have a bonded hydrogen.
Cysteine is a semi-essential amino acid that can be synthesized from methionine via the transsulfuration pathway. Cysteine is a thiol, containing a reactive sulfhydryl or thiol group (-SH). This thiol group allows it to form strong disulfide bonds, which are crucial for protein folding and stability.
