D-alpha-Aminobutyric acid
D-alpha-Aminobutyric acid (AABA), also known as alpha-aminobutyrate, (R)-2-aminobutanoic acid or D-homoalanine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as D-alpha-amino acids. These are alpha amino acids which have the D-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. D-alpha-aminobutyric acid is an optically active form of alpha-aminobutyric acid having D-configuration. It is an enantiomer of a L-alpha-aminobutyric acid and a non-proteinogenic amino acid. Alpha-aminobutyric acid is one of the three isomers of aminobutyric acid. The two others are the neurotransmitter Gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) and Beta-Aminobutyric acid (BABA) which is known for inducing plant disease resistance. Optically active organic compounds found in meteorites typically exist in racemic form, yet life on Earth has almost exclusively selected for L- over D-enantiomers of amino acids. D-enantiomers of non-proteinogenic amino acids are known to inhibit aerobic microorganisms. D-alpha-aminobutyric acid has been shown to inhibit microbial iron reduction by a number of Geobacter strains including Geobacter bemidjiensis, Geobacter metallireducens and Geopsychrobacter electrodiphilus (PMID: 25695622). D-alpha-Aminobutyric acid is a known substrate of D-amino acid oxidase (PMID: 6127341). Constituent of seedlings of Glycine max (soybean), Dolichos lablab (hyacinth bean), Canavalia gladiata (swordbean), Arachis hypogaea (peanut), Pisum sativum (pea), Phaseolus vulgaris (kidney bean) and Vigna sesquipedalis (asparagus bean) after hydrolysis D(-)-2-Aminobutyric acid is a substrate of D-amino acid oxidase. D(-)-2-Aminobutyric acid is a substrate of D-amino acid oxidase.
O-Acetylserine
O-Acetylserine is an α-amino acid with the chemical formula HO2CCH(NH2)CH2OC(O)CH3. It is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of the common amino acid cysteine in bacteria and plants. O-Acetylserine is biosynthesized by acetylation of the serine by the enzyme serine transacetylase. The enzyme O-acetylserine (thiol)-lyase, using sulfide sources, converts this ester into cysteine, releasing acetate. O-Acetylserine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as l-alpha-amino acids. These are alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. O-Acetylserine (OASS) is an acylated amino acid derivative. O-Acetylserine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, O-Acetylserine has been detected, but not quantified in several different foods, such as okra, vaccinium (blueberry, cranberry, huckleberry), rapes, sparkleberries, and lingonberries. This could make O-acetylserine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. O-acetyl-l-serine, also known as L-serine, acetate (ester) or (2s)-3-acetyloxy-2-aminopropanoate, is a member of the class of compounds known as L-alpha-amino acids. L-alpha-amino acids are alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. O-acetyl-l-serine is soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). O-acetyl-l-serine can be found in a number of food items such as sorrel, summer savory, purslane, and cherimoya, which makes O-acetyl-l-serine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. O-acetyl-l-serine can be found primarily in blood and urine, as well as in human prostate tissue. O-acetyl-l-serine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.

N-formylmethionine
N-formyl-L-methionine is a L-methionine derivative in which one of the hydrogens attached to the nitrogen is replaced by a formyl group. It has a role as a metabolite. It is a proteinogenic amino acid, a N-formyl amino acid and a L-methionine derivative. It is a conjugate acid of a N-formyl-L-methioninate. N-Formyl-L-methionine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methionine and derivatives. Methionine and derivatives are compounds containing methionine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of methionine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. N-Formyl-L-methionine is effective in the initiation of protein synthesis. The initiating methionine residue enters the ribosome as N-formylmethionyl-tRNA. This process occurs in Escherichia coli and other bacteria as well as in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. Effective in the initiation of protein synthesis.

3-Mercaptopyruvic acid
3-Mercaptopyruvic acid, also known as 3-mercapto-2-oxopropanoate or beta-thiopyruvate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha-keto acids and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing an aldehyde substituted with a keto group on the adjacent carbon. 3-Mercaptopyruvic acid is an intermediate in cysteine metabolism. 3-Mercaptopyruvic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, 3-mercaptopyruvic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, 3-mercaptopyruvic acid and cyanide can be converted into pyruvic acid and thiocyanate; which is mediated by the enzyme 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase. In addition, 3-mercaptopyruvic acid can be biosynthesized from 3-mercaptolactic acid; which is mediated by the enzyme L-lactate dehydrogenase. It has been studied as a potential treatment for cyanide poisoning, but its half-life is too short for it to be clinically effective. In humans, 3-mercaptopyruvic acid is involved in cystinosis, ocular nonnephropathic. Outside of the human body, 3-mercaptopyruvic acid has been detected, but not quantified in several different foods, such as lima beans, spinachs, shallots, mexican groundcherries, and white lupines. This could make 3-mercaptopyruvic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 3-mercaptopyruvic acid, also known as beta-mercaptopyruvate or beta-thiopyruvic acid, belongs to alpha-keto acids and derivatives class of compounds. Those are organic compounds containing an aldehyde substituted with a keto group on the adjacent carbon. 3-mercaptopyruvic acid is slightly soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). 3-mercaptopyruvic acid can be found in a number of food items such as garland chrysanthemum, rubus (blackberry, raspberry), tarragon, and arrowhead, which makes 3-mercaptopyruvic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 3-mercaptopyruvic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, 3-mercaptopyruvic acid is involved in a couple of metabolic pathways, which include cysteine metabolism and cystinosis, ocular nonnephropathic. 3-mercaptopyruvic acid is also involved in beta-mercaptolactate-cysteine disulfiduria, which is a metabolic disorder. 3-Mercaptopyruvic acid is an intermediate in cysteine metabolism. It has been studied as a potential treatment for cyanide poisoning, but its half-life is too short for it to be clinically effective. Instead, prodrugs, such as sulfanegen, are being evaluated to compensate for the short half-life of 3-mercaptopyruvic acid .
Thiocysteine
The reactive species in the phosphofructokinase modulation system could be considered thiocysteine (R-S-S-) or cystine trisulfide (R-S-S-S-R) produced from cystine in the presence of gamma-Cystathionase (CST, EC 4.4.1.1). The desulfuration reaction of cystine in vivo produces thiocysteine containing a bound sulfur atom. Persulfide generated from L-cysteine inactivates tyrosine aminotransferase. Thiocysteine is the reactive (unstable) intermediate of thiocystine which functions as a persulfide in transferring its sulfane sulfur to thiophilic acceptors. Thiocystine conversion to unstable thiocysteine is accelerated by sulfhydryl compounds, or reagents that cleave sulfur-sulfur bonds to yield sulfhydryl groups. Thiocystine is proposed as the storage form of sulfane sulfur in biological systems. Liver cytosols contain factors that produce an inhibitor of tyrosine aminotransferase in 3 steps: initial oxidation of cysteine to form cystine; desulfurization of cystine catalyzed by cystathionase to form the persulfide, thiocysteine; and reaction of thiocysteine (or products of its decomposition) with proteins to form protein-bound sulfane.

Selenocystine
Selenocystine, also known as 3,3-diselenodialanine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha-amino acids. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxyl group (alpha carbon). More specifically, selenocystine is a diselenide consisting of two selenoamino acids that are attached together at their selenium atoms. This particular selenoamino acid is selenocysteine, the selenium analogue to cysteine (selenium being the element directly beneath sulphur in the periodic table); likewise, selenocystine is the selenium analogue to cystine. Since each constituent amino acid has a stereocentre, there are three different stereoisomers of selenocystine: D-selenocystine, L-selenocystine, and meso-selenocystine, the first two of which are optically active. Like other amino acids, L-selenocystine is the most common form within organisms; however, the D- and meso- forms have also been found (PMID: 30920149). Selenocystine is a solid that is moderately soluble in water. Due to the reactivity of selenocysteine, it is rarely encountered; rather, cells store selenium in the less reactive oxidized form of selenocystine or in a methylated form, such as selenomethionine (DOI: 10.1007/978-3-319-92405-2_3). When cells are grown in the absence of selenium, translation of selenoproteins terminates at the UGA codon, resulting in a truncated, non-functional enzyme. Unlike other amino acids present in biological proteins, selenocysteine is not coded for directly in the genetic code. Rather, the tRNA-bound seryl residue is converted to a selenocysteine residue by the pyridoxal phosphate-containing enzyme selenocysteine synthase (PMID: 17194211). Kurt Franke et al. indicated that there was evidence that selenium was in a form similar to that of cysteine, predating Thressa Stadtman’s discovery of the 21st amino acid by four decades (PMID: 26949981; J. Biol. Chem. 111:643). Selenocysteine may be denoted by the short forms Sec, U, or SeCys (Cys is used for cysteine), whereas selenocystine may be denoted by SeCys2. However, the literature sometimes uses SeCys for selenocystine and may cause confusion. Selenocystine has been found in animals, plants, and bacteria. It is being researched as treatment for cancer and for its antioxidant properties (PMID: 24763048, 24030774). Selenium, in its various forms such as selenocystine, is essential for many species, including humans, yet it is also toxic to all organisms; hence, it has come to be referred to as the “essential poison” (PMID: 26949981; 6679541). Selenocystine is a substrate for glutathione peroxidase 1. [HMDB] D000890 - Anti-Infective Agents > D000998 - Antiviral Agents L-Selenocystine is a diselenide-bridged amino acid. L-Selenocystine is a redox-active selenium compound that has both anti- and pro-oxidant actions. L-Selenocystine induces an unfolded protein response, ER stress, and large cytoplasmic vacuolization in HeLa cells and has cytostatic effects in a range of cancer cell types[1].
