Title: Sulfur-Containing Protein Hydrolysis
Post by: rezakur on April 18, 2024, 12:49:28 AM

anyone know the chemical reaction of sulfur-containing protein hydrolysis to sulfur-containing amino acid? Please help me

It is the hydrolysis of amid bonds, alcaline or acidic. It doesn't matter the compound contain sulfur or not.

It sounds to me as if you are interested or concerned about the decomposition of sulfur-containing amino acid during hydrolysis.  Is that correct?  If so, what have you learned so far?

Hi, how are you? That sounds really interesting!
Could you tell me more about what you're discussing?

BrianReich,
To avoid decomposing sensitive amino acids, one uses constant boiling hydrochloric acid in the hydrolysis step.  The distilled hydrochloric acid is free or nearly free of oxidizing impurities found in commercial hydrochloric acid.
