H2S is an important signalling molecule involved in diverse biological processes. It mediates the formation of cysteine persulfides (R-S-SH), which affect the activity of target proteins. Like thiols, persulfides show reactivity towards electrophiles and

Rhodanese catalyzes the sulfur-transfer reaction that transfers sulfur from thiosulfate to cyanide by a double-displacement mechanism, in which an active cysteine residue plays a central role.

Supersulfides, which are defined as sulfur species with catenated sulfur atoms, are increasingly being investigated in biology. We recently identified pyridoxal phosphate (PLP)-dependent biosynthesis of cysteine persulfide (CysSSH) and related ...

Proton and Lithium cation interactions with hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen persulfide
The interaction of hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen persulfide with protons and lithium cations was examined by means of ab initio 6–31G* calculations. The influence of the correlation energy for selected complexes was estimated. Contrary to former results,

A vinyl boronate ester-based persulfidating agent that is selectively activated by hydrogen peroxide, which is a reactive oxygen species (ROS), and efficiently generated a persulfide by a hitherto unexplored 1,4-O,S-relay mechanism is reported.

Hydropersulfides promote angiogenesis and preserve vascular function
Hydropersulfides (RSSH) are increasingly recognized as key mediators in redox signalling in mammalian cells, although their physiological functions, especially in angiogenesis, remain unknown. Direct mechanistic investigation of RSSH has been challenging

Mammalian frataxin directly enhances sulfur transfer of NFS1 persulfide to both ISCU and free thiols
Friedreich's ataxia is a severe neurodegenerative disease caused by the decreased expression of frataxin, a mitochondrial protein that stimulates iron sulfur (Fe-S) cluster biogenesis.
