Thioproline is a nonproteinogenic amino acid with the formula (CH2SCH2NHCH)CO2H, although it crystallizes as the zwitterion (CH2SCH2NH+2CH)CO2. It consists of a 1,3-thiazolidine ring ( (CH2SCH2NHCH2)) substituted with a carboxylic acid. It is synthesized by reaction of formaldehyde and cysteine.[3] It occurs in nature, but rarely.[4] It forms a coordination complex with cobalt.[5]
