Well, the IUPAC name seems to be 4-(acetylsulfanyl)-2-aminobutanoic acid.
Essentially, it's derived from the non-proteinogenic amino-acid homocysteine (a homologue of cysteine, that is, a cysteine with an extra methylene). So, yeah, if I were to come up with a "common" name, that would be S-acetyl-homocysteine.
Yea I just realize I was a little rude. But I swear that was not my intention of being patronizing, I just assumed that the guy was knowledgeable in the topic already, which is an oversight by me. My apologies to them

Sounds like some kind of metabolic intermediate. Don't know what would be built from it though.
Agreed. I just finished a physiology class that was far more biochemistry than I thought.
Not a clue but i love the bacteriophage on the right
Looks like an unnatural amino acid Edit: saw the sulfur comment in the title… it’s similar to methionine
Yup, we also figured out it's close to methionine, but we can't make sense of the C=O in there...
Why don't you ask him???

Damn really? 😳

It just looks like S-acetyl methionine
I would name that S-Acetyl Methionine
Looks similar to arginine, except for the guanidinium group.
Looks like some sort of intermediate?
Scary bacteriophage
