Are Monophospha(III)amidines and ‐guanidines with Ionizable Hydrogens Tautomeric? Towards a Deeper Understanding of Two Related Hetero‐element Functional Groups

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, Volume 26, Issue 33, November 24, 2023., 2023
Which is preferred, C‐amino‐(σ2,λ3)‐phosphaalkene P=C or C‐(σ3,λ3)‐phosphinoimine N=C? The answer seems to depend on the backbone substituent R. When R is an aryl group (or hydrogen) P=C is consistently preferred over N=C, though both isomers exist in solution.

Identification and characterization of a small molecule that activates thiosulfate sulfurtransferase and stimulates mitochondrial respiration

Protein Science, Volume 32, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
Abstract The enzyme Thiosulfate sulfurtransferase (TST, EC 2.8.1.1), is a positive genetic predictor of diabetes type 2 and obesity. As increased TST activity protects against the development of diabetic symptoms in mice, an activating compound for TST may provide therapeutic benefits in diabetes and obesity. We identified a small molecule activator of
