Protein persulfidation in plants : Mechanisms and functions beyond a simple stress response [PDF]
Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) can modulate the activity, localization and interactions of proteins and (re)define their biological function. Understanding how changing environments can alter cellular processes thus requires detailed knowledge ...

Bioenergetic relevance of hydrogen sulfide and the interplay between gasotransmitters at human cystathionine β-synthase [PDF]
, 2016 Merely considered as a toxic gas in the past, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is currently viewed as the third ‘gasotransmitter’ in addition to nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO), playing a key signalling role in human (patho)physiology.

Is Encephalopathy a Mechanism to Renew Sulfate in Autism? [PDF]
, 2013 This paper makes two claims: (1) autism can be characterized as a chronic low-grade encephalopathy, associated with excess exposure to nitric oxide, ammonia and glutamate in the central nervous system, which leads to hippocampal pathologies and resulting

High Turnover Rates for Hydrogen Sulfide Allow for Rapid Regulation of Its Tissue Concentrations [PDF]
, 2012 Aims: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a signaling molecule, which influences many physiological processes. While H2S is produced and degraded in many cell types, the kinetics of its turnover in different tissues has not been reported.

The response of sulfur dioxygenase to sulfide in the body wall of Urechis unincinctus [PDF]
, 2019 Background In some sedimentary environments, such as coastal intertidal and subtidal mudflats, sulfide levels can reach millimolar concentrations (2–5 mM) and can be toxic to marine species.
