Enzymatic Regulation and Biological Functions of Reactive Cysteine Persulfides and Polysulfides

Cysteine persulfide (CysSSH) and cysteine polysulfides (CysSS<sub>n</sub>H, <i>n</i> > 1) are cysteine derivatives that have sulfane sulfur atoms bound to cysteine thiol. Advances in analytical methods that detect and quantify persulfides and polysulfides have shown that C...
