definition
Protein involved in the synthesis of cysteine, the amino acid with the highly reactive sulfhydryl group (-SH). It is derived from the amino acids methionine and serine. Cysteine plays a special role in shaping some proteins by forming disulfide bonds. In enzymes the unique reactivity of this group is frequently exploited at the catalytic site.
