Abstract
In biological systems, persulfides (RSS-) are reactive, unstable intermediates in the transformations of sulfur compounds. Persulfides are also referred to as polysulfides, or alkyl/aryl hydrogen disulfides. The persulfide sulfur is commonly termed, “sulfane”, to designate sulfur covalently bonded only to other sulfur atoms. The scission of the sulfur-sulfur bond is enhanced by the joint action of electrophilic and nucleophilic groups1.KeywordsLipoic AcidBiochemical FunctionAldehyde OxidaseCyanogenic GlycosideMixed DisulfideThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
