  <name>Methylcysteine</name>
  <description>Methylcysteine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as l-cysteine-s-conjugates. L-cysteine-S-conjugates are compounds containing L-cysteine where the thio-group is conjugated. Methylcysteine is possibly soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa).</description>
