Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethionine sulfone
DescriptionMethionine sulfone, also known as S-dioxymethionine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as l-alpha-amino acids. These are alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. Methionine sulfone is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Outside of the human body, Methionine sulfone has been detected, but not quantified in, garden onions. This could make methionine sulfone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. An L-methionine derivative in which the sulfur has been oxidised to the corresponding sulfone.
