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. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
