Frontispiece: Strategies for the Design of Donors and Precursors of Reactive Sulfur Species

Reactive sulfur species (RSS) are a group of sulfur‐containing molecules that play regulatory roles in biological systems. Of all the RSS, H2S is of particular interest. In the past decade, H2S has been identified as a nitric oxide (NO)‐like gasotransmitter. Study of the chemical biology of H2S and...

Description
Summary:Reactive sulfur species (RSS) are a group of sulfur‐containing molecules that play regulatory roles in biological systems. Of all the RSS, H2S is of particular interest. In the past decade, H2S has been identified as a nitric oxide (NO)‐like gasotransmitter. Study of the chemical biology of H2S and H2S‐derived RSS, especially RSSH, H2Sn, and HSNO, has become a fast‐growing research field. In their Minireview article on page 4005 ff., M. Xian et al. summarize the chemical strategies that have been used in the design of donors/precursors of hydrogen sulfide and relevant reactive sulfur species, including hydrogen sulfide (H2S), hydrogen polysulfides (H2Sn), persulfides (RSSH), and S‐nitroso‐hydrogen sulfide (HSNO).
