The beta mercapto pyruvate can transfer S to CN to form thiocynate (SCN)The sulphur mav be removed either as H.25 or elemental sulphor or as sulfiteCysteine on decarboxylation gives beta mercapto ethanol- amine . This is used for synthesis of co-enzyme A"Formation of cysteine is by using the carbon skeleton contributed by serine & sulphur originating from methionine"- Vasudevan 5th/191"Sulphur containing amino acids in body are- methionine, cysteine & cystine. Other source of sulphur in body are sulphur containing amino acids: thiamine, lipoic acid & biotin"- Shinde 7th/471"Cystine; This amino acid is reduced to cysteine, using NADH + H' as a reductant. Cysteine undergoes desulfuration to yield pyruvate.[Note; The sulfate released can be used to synthesize 3'-phosphoadenosine-5r-phosphosulfate (PAPS), an activated sulfur donor to a variety of acceptorsj.Cysteine can be oxidized to its disulfide derivative, cystine"- Lippincott 6th/263
