  <name>Cystathione</name>
  <description>Cystathione, also known as dl-cystathionine, belongs to cysteine and derivatives class of compounds. Those are compounds containing cysteine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of cysteine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. Cystathione is soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Cystathione can be found in corn, which makes cystathione a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Cystathione may be a unique E.coli metabolite.</description>
