High impact information on Glycerylcysteine

Amino acid analysis also revealed the presence of glycerylcysteine, which has been shown to be the site of fatty acylation in other bacterial lipoproteins [1].
The lipoprotein of the wild-type strain is known to have a peculiar amino terminal structure: glycerylcysteine with two fatty acids attached by ester linkages and one fatty acid by an amide linkage [2].
