Involvement of the Azotobacter vinelandii rhodanese-like protein RhdA in the glutathione regeneration pathway. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The phenotypic features of the Azotobacter vinelandii RhdA mutant MV474 (in which the rhdA gene was deleted) indicated that defects in antioxidant systems in this organism were related to the expression of the tandem-domain rhodanese RhdA.

The Enigma of Sponge-Derived Terpenoid Isothiocyanate–Thiocyanate Pairs: A Biosynthetic Proposal [PDF]

Marine Drugs
The co-occurrence of rare terpenoid thiocyanates (R-SCN), structurally similar to their more common isothiocyanate isomers (R-NCS), poses an enigma: how does the accepted path, terpenyl cation R+ → R-NC → R-NCS, accommodate R-SCN?
