L-cysteine + H2O strong preference for L-cysteine over D-cysteine, H2S production is 483-fold slower with D-cysteine than with L-cysteine. It is far more active towards L-cysteine than towards the other standard amino acids that undergo pyridoxal phosphate-dependent beta-elimination reactions (serine, threonine, tryptophan and tyrosine). The enzyme tolerated small modifications to the carboxylate of L-cysteine (i.e., the methyl and ethyl esters of L-cysteine are good substrates), but the smallest possible peptide with an N-terminal cysteine, L-cysteinylglycine, is a very poor substrate Treponema denticola sulfide + NH3 + pyruvate
