Common NameMethionine sulfoxide
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionMethionine sulfoxide, also known as met-so or S-oxide-methionine, 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 carboxylate group (alpha carbon). Methionine sulfoxide exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Methionine sulfoxide exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.
