Chemical Biology of H2S Signaling through Persulfidation.

TL;DR: The biologically relevant chemistry of H2S and the enzymatic routes for its production and oxidation are discussed and the roles ascribed to protein persulfidation in cell signaling pathways are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biogenesis of reactive sulfur species for signaling by hydrogen sulfide oxidation pathways

TL;DR: It is posited that sulfide oxidation pathways mediate sulfide signaling and that sulfurtransferases ensure target specificity and that sulfides, polysulfides and thiosulfate generate a series of reactive sulfur species that could modify target proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Redox chemistry and chemical biology of H2S, hydropersulfides, and derived species: implications of their possible biological activity and utility.

TL;DR: The basic chemical biology of H2S as well as other related or derived species is discussed and reviewed, and this review particularly focuses on the per- and polysulfides which are likely in equilibrium with free H 2S and which may be important biological effectors themselves.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) releasing agents: chemistry and biological applications.

TL;DR: The developments and limitations of currently available donors including H2S gas, sulfide salts, garlic-derived sulfur compounds, Lawesson's reagent/analogs, 1,2-dithiole-3-thiones, thiol-activated donors, photo-caged donors, and thioamino acids are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fluorescent probes for the simultaneous detection of multiple analytes in biology

TL;DR: This work reviews work that has been carried out to date, and suggests future research directions that will harness the considerable potential of dual-responsive fluorescent probes.

The reaction of no with superoxide

TL;DR: The rate constant for the reaction of NO with .O2- was determined to be (6.7 +/- 0.9) x 10(9) l mol-1 s-1, considerably higher than previously reported.

H2S as a Physiologic Vasorelaxant: Hypertension in Mice with Deletion of Cystathionine γ-Lyase

TL;DR: It is shown that H2S is physiologically generated by cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) and that genetic deletion of this enzyme in mice markedly reduces H 2S levels in the serum, heart, aorta, and other tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

The possible role of hydrogen sulfide as an endogenous neuromodulator

TL;DR: It is shown that physiological concentrations of H2S selectively enhance NMDA receptor-mediated responses and facilitate the induction of hippocampal long-term potentiation, suggesting that endogenous H 2S functions as a neuromodulator in the brain.
