Abstract
We present a comprehensive theoretical examination of the structural properties of dianionic polysulfides [Sn]2- (n = 2-6), their conjugated monoacids [HSn]- (n = 2-6), and a selection of 1e--oxidized radical anions [Sn]•- (n = 2-4), in aqueous and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solutions. We investigated the structures and stabilities of various conformational isomers within these families of compounds by employing Quantum Mechanics-Molecular Mechanics (QM-MM) Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. The explicit inclusion of solvent molecules in the calculations revealed stable conformational structures that were previously unreported and might have appreciable concentrations in real systems. The interconversions between the isomeric structures proceed on the order of hundreds of picoseconds and are energetically similar to the isomerization processes in substituted cyclohexanes. We also conducted a detailed analysis of the stability of different isomers of the radical anion [S4]•- in solution. Our findings highlight the significant influence of the solvent on the isomerizations, a result that could be particularly relevant for enhancing the performance of metal-sulfur batteries.

Abstract
The gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is thought to be involved in the post-translational modification of cysteine residues to produce reactive persulfides. A persulfide-specific chemoselective proteomics approach with mammalian cells has identified a broad range of zinc finger (ZF) proteins as targets of persulfidation. Parallel studies with isolated ZFs show that persulfidation is mediated by ZnII, O2, and H2S, with intermediates involving oxygen- and sulfur-based radicals detected by mass spectrometry and optical spectroscopies. A small molecule ZnII complex exhibits analogous reactivity with H2S and O2, giving a persulfidated product. These data show that ZnII is not just a biological structural element, but also plays a critical role in mediating H2S-dependent persulfidation. ZF persulfidation appears to be a general post-translational modification and a possible conduit for H2S signaling. This work has implications for our understanding of H2S-mediated signaling and the regulation of ZFs in cellular physiology and development.

Abstract
H2S is a physiologically important signaling molecule with complex roles in biology and exists primarily as HS- at physiological pH. Despite this anionic character, few investigations have focused on the molecular recognition and reversible binding of this important biological anion. Using a series of imidazole and imidazolium host molecules, we investigate the role of preorganization and charge on HS- binding. Using a macrocyclic bis-imidazolium receptor, we demonstrate the unexpected 2:1 host-guest binding of HS-, which was characterized both in solution and by X-ray crystallography. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of this binding stoichiometry for HS- binding. Moreover, the short C-H···S distances of 2.53, 2.54, 2.76, and 2.79 Å are well within the sum of the van der Waals radii of the interacting atoms, which is consistent with strong C-H···S interactions.

Abstract
(Per)thionitrite (SNO- /SSNO- ) intermediates play vital roles in modulating nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) dependent bio-signalling processes. Whilst the previous preparations of such intermediates involved reactive H2 S/HS- or sulfane sulfur (S0 ) species, the present report reveals that relatively stable thiocarbonyl compounds (such as carbon disulfide (CS2 ), thiocarbamate, thioacetic acid, and thioacetate) react with nitrite anion to yield SNO- /SSNO- . For instance, the reaction of CS2 and nitrite anion (NO2 - ) under ambient condition affords CO2 and SNO- /SSNO- . A detailed investigation involving UV/Vis, FTIR, HRMS, and multinuclear NMR studies confirm the formation of SNO- /SSNO- , which are proposed to form through an initial nucleophilic attack by nitrite anion followed by a transnitrosation step. Notably, reactions of CS2 and nitrite in the presence of thiol RSH show the formation of organic polysulfides R-Sn -R, thereby illustrating that the thiocarbonyls are capable of influencing the pool of bioavailable sulfane sulfurs. Furthermore, the availability of both NO2 - and thiocarbonyl motifs in the biological context hints at their synergistic metal-free activations leading to the generation of NO gas and various reactive sulfur species via SNO- /SSNO- .

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important biological mediator across all kingdoms of life and plays intertwined roles in various disciplines, ranging from geochemical cycles to industrial processes. A common need across these broad disciplines is the ability to detect and measure H2S in complex sample environments. This Perspective focuses on key advances and opportunities for H2S detection and quantification that are relevant to chemical biology. Specifically, we focus on methods for H2S detection and quantification most commonly used in biological samples, including activity-based H2S probes, the methylene blue assay, the monobromobimane assay, and H2S-sensitive electrode measurements. Our goal is to help simplify what at first may seem to be an overwhelming array of detection and measurement choices, to articulate the strengths and limitations of individual techniques, and to highlight key unmet needs and opportunities in the field.

Abstract
Nitrite-to-NO transformation is of prime importance due to its relevance in mammalian physiology. Although such a one-electron reductive transformation at various redox-active metal sites (e.g., Cu and Fe) has been illustrated previously, the reaction at the [ZnII] site in the presence of a sacrificial reductant like thiol has been reported to be sluggish and poorly understood. Reactivity of [(Bn3Tren)ZnII-ONO](ClO4) (1), a nitrite-bound model of the tripodal active site of carbonic anhydrase (CA), toward various organic probes, such as 4-tert-butylbenzylthiol (tBuBnSH), 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol (2,4-DTBP), and 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (F-DNB), reveals that the ONO-moiety in the [ZnII]-nitrite coordination motif of complex 1 acts as a mild electrophile. tBuBnSH reacts mildly with nitrite at a [ZnII] site to provide S-nitrosothiol tBuBnSNO prior to the release of NO in 10% yield, whereas the phenolic substrate 2,4-DTBP does not yield the analogous O-nitrite compound (ArONO). The presence of sulfane sulfur (S0) species such as elemental sulfur (S8) and organic polysulfides (tBuBnSnBntBu) during the reaction of tBuBnSH and [ZnII]-nitrite (1) assists the nitrite-to-NO conversion to provide NO yields of 65% (for S8) and 76% (for tBuBnSnBntBu). High-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) analyses on the reaction of [ZnII]-nitrite (1), tBuBnSH, and S8 depict the formation of zinc(II)-persulfide species [(Bn3Tren)ZnII-Sn-BntBu]+ (where n = 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6). Trapping of the persulfide species (tBuBnSS-) with 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (F-DNB) confirms its intermediacy. The significantly higher nucleophilicity of persulfide species (relative to thiol/thiolate) is proposed to facilitate the reaction with the mildly electrophilic [ZnII]-nitrite (1) complex. Complementary analyses, including multinuclear NMR, electrospray ionization-MS, UV-vis, and trapping of reactive S-species, provide mechanistic insights into the sulfane sulfur-assisted reactions between thiol and nitrite at the tripodal [ZnII]-site. These findings suggest the critical influential roles of various reactive sulfur species, such as sulfane sulfur and persulfides, in the nitrite-to-NO conversion.

Abstract
We investigated the differential oxidative and nucleophilic chemistry of reactive sulfur and oxygen anions (SSNO-, SNO-, NO2-, S42-, and HS-) using the simple reducing electrophile PPh2Cl. In the case of SSNO- reacting with PPh2Cl, a complex mixture of mono and diphosphorus products is formed exclusively in the P(V) oxidation state. We found that the phosphine stoichiometry dictates selectivity for oxidation to P=S/P=O products or transformation to P2 species. Interestingly, only chalcogen atoms are incorporated into the phosphorus products and, instead, nitrogen is released in the form of NO gas. Finally, we demonstrate that more reducing anions (S42- and HS-) also react with PPh2Cl with P=S bond formation as a key reaction driving force.

Abstract
Nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide, as important signaling molecules (gasotransmitters), are involved in many functions of plant organism, including adaptation to stress factors of various natures. As redox-active molecules, NO and H2S are involved in redox regulation of functional activity of many proteins. They are also involved in maintaining cell redox homeostasis due to their ability to interact directly and indirectly (functionally) with ROS, thiols, and other molecules. The review considers the involvement of nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide in plant responses to low and high temperatures. Particular attention is paid to the role of gasotransmitters interaction with other signaling mediators (in particular, with Ca2+ ions and ROS) in the formation of adaptive responses to extreme temperatures. Pathways of stress-induced enhancement of NO and H2S synthesis in plants are considered. Mechanisms of the NO and H2S effect on the activity of some proteins of the signaling system, as well as on the state of antioxidant and osmoprotective systems during adaptation to stress temperatures, were analyzed. Possibilities of practical use of nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide donors as inductors of plant adaptive responses are discussed.

Abstract
Sulfur is not only one of the most abundant elements on the Earth, but it is also essential to all living organisms. As life likely began and evolved in a hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-rich environment, sulfur metabolism represents an early form of energy generation via various reactions in prokaryotes and has driven the sulfur biogeochemical cycle since. It has long been known that H2S is toxic to cells at high concentrations, but now this gaseous molecule, at the physiological level, is recognized as a signaling molecule and a regulator of critical biological processes. Recently, many metabolites of H2S, collectively called reactive sulfur species (RSS), have been gradually appreciated as having similar or divergent regulatory roles compared with H2S in living organisms, especially mammals. In prokaryotes, even in bacteria, investigations into generation and physiology of RSS remain preliminary and an understanding of the relevant biological processes is still in its infancy. Despite this, recent and exciting advances in the fields are many. Here, we discuss abiotic and biotic generation of H2S/RSS, sulfur-transforming enzymes and their functioning mechanisms, and their physiological roles as well as the sensing and regulation of H2S/RSS.

Abstract
By complementing traditional transition metal catalysis, photoinduced catalysis has emerged as a versatile and sustainable way to achieve carbon-heteroatom bond formation. This work discloses a visible-light-induced reaction for the formation of a C-S bond from aryl halides and inorganic sulfuration agents via electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex photocatalysis. Divergent formations of organic sulfide and disulfide have been demonstrated under mild conditions. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that visible-light-induced intracomplex charge transfer within the monosulfide-anion-containing EDA complex permits the C-S bond construction reactivity.

Abstract
S/N crosstalk species derived from the interconnected reactivity of H2 S and NO facilitate the transport of reactive sulfur and nitrogen species in signaling, transport, and regulatory processes. We report here that simple Fe2+ ions, such as those that are bioavailable in the labile iron pool (LIP), react with thionitrite (SNO- ) and perthionitrite (SSNO- ) to yield the dinitrosyl iron complex [Fe(NO)2 (S5 )]- . In the reaction of FeCl2 with SNO- we were able to isolate the unstable intermediate hydrosulfido mononitrosyl iron complex [FeCl2 (NO)(SH)]- , which was characterized by X-ray crystallography. We also show that [Fe(NO)2 (S5 )]- is a simple synthon for nitrosylated Fe-S clusters via its reduction with PPh3 to yield Roussin's Red Salt ([Fe2 S2 (NO)4 ]2- ), which highlights the role of S/N crosstalk species in the assembly of fundamental Fe-S motifs.

Abstract
AbstractCyclophanes are an admirable class of macrocyclic and cage compounds that often display unusual properties due to their high strain and unusual conformations. However, the exploration of new, complex cyclophanes has been encumbered by syntheses that can be low yielding, require harsh reaction conditions, and arduous purification steps. Herein, we discuss our work using metalloid-directed self-assembly and dynamic covalent chemistry to form cryptands. These were then subjected to mild conditions to produce discrete disulfide, thioether and hydrocarbon macrocycles in high yields. ‘Design of Experiments’ was then used to selectively synthesize targeted macrocycles from complex mixtures.1 Introduction2 Cryptands to Cyclophanes3 Functionalizable Macrocycles4 ‘Design of Experiments’ Targeted Synthesis5 Conclusions and Outlook

Abstract
NO and H2 S serve as signaling molecules in biology with intertwined reactivity. HSNO and HSSNO with their conjugate bases - SNO and - SSNO form in the reaction of H2 S with NO as well as S-nitrosothiols (RSNO) and nitrite (NO2 - ) that serve as NO reservoirs. While HSNO and HSSNO are elusive, their conjugate bases form isolable zinc complexes Ph,Me TpZn(SNO) and Ph,Me TpZn(SSNO) supported by tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligands. Reaction of Na(15-C-5)SSNO with Ph,Me TpZn(ClO4 ) provides Ph,Me TpZn(SSNO) that undergoes S-atom removal by PEt3 to give Ph,Me TpZn(SNO) and S=PEt3 . Unexpectedly stable at room temperature, these Zn-SNO and Zn-SSNO complexes release NO upon heating. Ph,Me TpZn(SNO) and Ph,Me TpZn(SSNO) quickly react with acidic thiols such as C6 F5 SH to form N2 O and NO, respectively. Increasing the thiol basicity in p-substituted aromatic thiols 4-X ArSH in the reaction with Ph,Me TpZn(SNO) turns on competing S-nitrosation to form Ph,Me TpZn-SH and RSNO, the latter a known precursor for NO.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO) has gained a considerable amount of attention because of its promising pharmacological effects. The biochemical mechanisms of HNO activity are associated with the modification of regulatory thiol proteins. Recently, several studies have suggested that hydropersulfides (RSSH), presumed signaling products of hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-mediated thiol (RSH) modification, are additional potential targets of HNO. However, the interaction of HNO with reactive sulfur species beyond thiols remains relatively unexplored. Herein, we present characterization of HNO reactivity with H2S and RSSH. The reaction of H2S with HNO leads to the formation of hydrogen polysulfides and sulfur (S8), suggesting a potential role in sulfane sulfur homeostasis. Furthermore, we show that hydropersulfides are more efficient traps for HNO than their thiol counterparts. The reaction of HNO with RSSH at varied stoichiometries has been examined with the observed production of various dialkylpolysulfides (RSSnSR) and other nitrogen-containing dialkylpolysulfide species (RSS-NH-SnR). We do not observe evidence of sulfenylsulfinamide (RS-S(O)-NH2) formation, a pathway expected by analogy with the known reactivity of HNO with thiol.

Abstract
Aims: The aim of the present study was to investigate the biochemical properties of nitrosopersulfide (SSNO-), a key intermediate of the nitric oxide (NO)/sulfide cross talk. Results: We obtained corroborating evidence that SSNO- is indeed a major product of the reaction of S-nitrosothiols with hydrogen sulfide (H2S). It was found to be relatively stable (t1/2 ∼1 h at room temperature) in aqueous solution of physiological pH, stabilized by the presence of excess sulfide and resistant toward reduction by other thiols. Furthermore, we here show that SSNO- escapes the reducing power of the NADPH-driven biological reducing machineries, the thioredoxin and glutathione reductase systems. The slow decomposition of SSNO- produces inorganic polysulfide species, which effectively induce per/polysulfidation on glutathione or protein cysteine (Cys) residues. Our data also demonstrate that, in contrast to the transient activation by inorganic polysulfides, SSNO- induces long-term potentiation of TRPA1 (transient receptor potential ankyrin 1) channels, which may be due to its propensity to generate a slow flux of polysulfide in situ. Innovation: The characterized properties of SSNO- would seem to represent unique features in cell signaling by enabling sulfur and nitrogen trafficking within the reducing environment of the cytosol, with targeted release of both NO and polysulfide equivalents. Conclusion: SSNO- is a surprisingly stable bioactive product of the chemical interaction of S-nitrosothiol species and H2S that is resistant to reduction by the thioredoxin and glutathione systems. As well as generating NO, it releases inorganic polysulfides, enabling transfer of sulfane sulfur species to peptide/protein Cys residues. The sustained activation of TRPA1 channels by SSNO- is most likely linked to all these properties.

Abstract
Significance: Sulfur has a critical role in protein structure/function and redox status/signaling in all living organisms. Although hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and sulfane sulfur (SS) are now recognized as central players in physiology and pathophysiology, the full scope and depth of sulfur metabolome's impact on human health and healthy longevity has been vastly underestimated and is only starting to be grasped. Since many pathological conditions have been related to abnormally low levels of H2S/SS in blood and/or tissues, and are amenable to treatment by H2S supplementation, development of safe and efficacious H2S donors deserves to be undertaken with a sense of urgency; these prodrugs also hold the promise of becoming widely used for disease prevention and as antiaging agents. Recent Advances: Supramolecular tuning of the properties of well-known molecules comprising chains of sulfur atoms (diallyl trisulfide [DATS], S8) was shown to lead to improved donors such as DATS-loaded polymeric nanoparticles and SG1002. Encouraging results in animal models have been obtained with SG1002 in heart failure, atherosclerosis, ischemic damage, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy; with TC-2153 in Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, age-related memory decline, fragile X syndrome, and cocaine addiction; and with DATS in brain, colon, gastric, and breast cancer. Critical Issues: Mode-of-action studies on allyl polysulfides, benzyl polysulfides, ajoene, and 12 ring-substituted organic disulfides and thiosulfonates led several groups of researchers to conclude that the anticancer effect of these compounds is not mediated by H2S and is only modulated by reactive oxygen species, and that their central model of action is selective protein S-thiolation. Future Directions: SG1002 is likely to emerge as the H2S donor of choice for acquiring knowledge on this gasotransmitter's effects in animal models, on account of its unique ability to efficiently generate H2S without byproducts and in a slow and sustained mode that is dose independent and enzyme independent. Efficient tuning of H2S donation characteristics of DATS, dibenzyl trisulfide, and other hydrophobic H2S prodrugs for both oral and parenteral administration will be achieved not only by conventional structural modification of a lead molecule but also through the new "supramolecular tuning" paradigm.

Abstract
Bacterial pathogens that cause invasive disease in the vertebrate host must adapt to host efforts to cripple their viability. Major host insults are reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen species as well as cellular stress induced by antibiotics. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is emerging as an important player in cytoprotection against these stressors, which may well be attributed to downstream more oxidized sulfur species termed reactive sulfur species (RSS). In this review, we summarize recent work that suggests that H2S/RSS impacts bacterial survival in infected cells and animals. We discuss the mechanisms of biogenesis and clearance of RSS in the context of a bacterial H2S/RSS homeostasis model and the bacterial transcriptional regulatory proteins that act as "sensors" of cellular RSS that maintain H2S/RSS homeostasis. In addition, we cover fluorescence imaging- and MS-based approaches used to detect and quantify RSS in bacterial cells. Last, we discuss proteome persulfidation (S-sulfuration) as a potential mediator of H2S/RSS signaling in bacteria in the context of the writer-reader-eraser paradigm, and progress toward ascribing regulatory significance to this widespread post-translational modification.

Abstract
Various room-temperature-stable monoorganylpolysulfanides of the form [X][RSn] (X = [PPh4]+, [PNP]+, [NEt4]+; R = Ph, t-Bu, n ≥ 2) were synthesized in a simple and versatile one-step process starting from sodium thiolates and elemental sulfur. The compounds were characterized by X-ray crystal structure analysis, NMR spectroscopy, microelemental analysis, and electrospray mass ionization spectrometry including collision-induced dissociation experiments. While these salts are well-defined species as crystals, they undergo complex equilibria in solution. In one case, compounds ranging from n = 1-8 have been observed in solution. Structural features, dynamics in solution, as well as thermochromic properties of one of the compounds, [PPh4][PhS2], are investigated in detail by temperature- and pressure-dependent X-ray crystal structure analysis. The experimental data are complemented by periodic boundary density functional theory calculations on the crystal structures, as well as energy decomposition analyses.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has always been considered toxic, but a huge number of articles published more recently showed the beneficial biochemical properties of its endogenous production throughout all regna. In this review, the participation of H2S in many physiological and pathological processes in animals is described, and its importance as a signaling molecule in plant systems is underlined from an evolutionary point of view. H2S quantification methods are summarized and persulfidation is described as the underlying mechanism of action in plants, animals and bacteria. This review aims to highlight the importance of its crosstalk with other signaling molecules and its fine regulation for the proper function of the cell and its survival.

Abstract
Interactions between small inorganic molecules are fundamental to the understanding of basic reaction mechanisms and some of the initial processes of chemical evolution that preceded organic molecules and led to the origin of life. The kinetics of these processes are suitable for the fast generation of a variety of new chemical entities and the propagation of a cascade of chemical reactions, a property that is ideal for signaling purposes even in biological systems. NO and H2S are such molecules that are nowadays recognized as biological gasotransmitters involved in the regulation of physiological functions through protein modifications such as S-nitrosothiol, disulfide, and persulfide formations. In this Viewpoint, we review the current understanding of interactions of NO (and organic and metal nitrosyl species) with H2S, in both chemical and biochemical contexts. Through the formation of HNO, (H)SNO (and its isomers), (H)SSNO, and polysulfides, these two gasotransmitters initiate reaction networks with significant roles in cell signaling. The chemical reactivities and biological effects of these nitrogen and sulfur species are still unresolved, and, thus, a cross-talk between all of them represents a challenging interdisciplinary field that awaits exciting new findings. We tackle some of the intriguing and open questions and provide perspectives for future research directions.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S/HS–) can be formed in mammalian tissues and exert physiological effects. It can react with metal centers and oxidized thiol products such as disulfides (RSSR) and sulfenic acids (RSOH). Reactions with oxidized thiol products form persulfides (RSSH/RSS–). Persulfides have been proposed to transduce the signaling effects of H2S through the modification of critical cysteines. They are more nucleophilic and acidic than thiols and, contrary to thiols, also possess electrophilic character. In this review, we summarize the biochemistry of hydrogen sulfide and persulfides, focusing on redox aspects. We describe biologically relevant one- and two-electron oxidants and their reactions with H2S and persulfides, as well as the fates of the oxidation products. The biological implications are discussed.

Speciation of reactive sulfur species and their reactions with alkylating agents: do we have any clue about what is present inside the cell? Br J Pharmacol 2019; 176:646-670. [PMID: 29909607 PMCID: PMC6346080 DOI: 10.1111/bph.14394] [Citation(s) in RCA: 83] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2018] [Revised: 05/18/2018] [Accepted: 06/05/2018] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Posttranslational modifications of cysteine residues represent a major aspect of redox biology, and their reliable detection is key in providing mechanistic insights. The metastable character of these modifications and cell lysis-induced artifactual oxidation render current state-of-the-art protocols to rely on alkylation-based stabilization of labile cysteine derivatives before cell/tissue rupture. An untested assumption in these procedures is that for all cysteine derivatives, alkylation rates are faster than their dynamic interchange. However, when the interconversion of cysteine derivatives is not rate limiting, electrophilic labelling is under Curtin-Hammett control; hence, the final alkylated mixture may not represent the speciation that prevailed before alkylation. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Buffered aqueous solutions of inorganic, organic, cysteine, GSH and GAPDH polysulfide species were used. Additional experiments in human plasma and serum revealed that monobromobimane can extract sulfide from the endogenous sulfur pool by shifting speciation equilibria, suggesting caution should be exercised when interpreting experimental results using this tool. KEY RESULTS In the majority of cases, the speciation of alkylated polysulfide/thiol derivatives depended on the experimental conditions. Alkylation perturbed sulfur speciation in both a concentration- and time-dependent manner and strong alkylating agents cleaved polysulfur chains. Moreover, the labelling of sulfenic acids with dimedone also affected cysteine speciation, suggesting that part of the endogenous pool of products previously believed to represent sulfenic acid species may represent polysulfides. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS We highlight methodological caveats potentially arising from these pitfalls and conclude that current derivatization strategies often fail to adequately capture physiological speciation of sulfur species.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Carbonyl sulfide (COS) is the most prevalent sulfur-containing gas in the Earth's atmosphere, and it plays important roles in the global sulfur cycle. COS has been implicated in origin of life peptide ligation, is the primary energy source for certain bacteria, and has been detected in mammalian systems. Despite this long and intertwined history with terrestrial biology, limited attention has focused on potential roles of COS as a biological mediator. Recent Advances: Although bacterial COS production is well documented, definitive sources of mammalian COS production have not been confirmed. Enzymatic COS consumption in mammals, however, is well documented and occurs primarily by carbonic anhydrase (CA)-mediated conversion to hydrogen sulfide (H2S). COS has been detected in ex vivo mammalian tissue culture, as well as in exhaled breath as a potential biomarker for different disease pathologies, including cystic fibrosis and organ rejection. Recently, chemical tools for COS delivery have emerged and are poised to advance future investigations into the role of COS in different biological contexts. CRITICAL ISSUES Possible roles of COS as an important biomolecule, gasotransmitter, or sulfide transport intermediate remain to be determined. Key advances in both biological and chemical tools for COS research are needed to further investigate these questions. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Further evaluation of the biological roles of COS and disentangling the chemical biology of COS from that of H2S are needed to further elucidate these interactions. Chemical tools for COS delivery and modulation may provide a first avenue of investigative tools to answer many of these questions. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 28, 1516-1532.

Abstract
In this work we present the current advances in the development and the applications of LIO, a lab-made code designed for density functional theory calculations in graphical processing units (GPU), that can be coupled with different classical molecular dynamics engines. This code has been thoroughly optimized to perform efficient molecular dynamics simulations at the QM/MM DFT level, allowing for an exhaustive sampling of the configurational space. Selected examples are presented for the description of chemical reactivity in terms of free energy profiles, and also for the computation of optical properties, such as vibrational and electronic spectra in solvent and protein environments.

Abstract
Signaling by H2S is proposed to occur via persulfidation, a posttranslational modification of cysteine residues (RSH) to persulfides (RSSH). Persulfidation provides a framework for understanding the physiological and pharmacological effects of H2S. Due to the inherent instability of persulfides, their chemistry is understudied. In this review, we discuss the biologically relevant chemistry of H2S and the enzymatic routes for its production and oxidation. We cover the chemical biology of persulfides and the chemical probes for detecting them. We conclude by discussing the roles ascribed to protein persulfidation in cell signaling pathways.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Oxidative stress is thought to account for aberrant redox homeostasis and contribute to aging and disease. However, more often than not, administration of antioxidants is ineffective, suggesting that our current understanding of the underlying regulatory processes is incomplete. Recent Advances: Similar to reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species, reactive sulfur species are now emerging as important signaling molecules, targeting regulatory cysteine redox switches in proteins, affecting gene regulation, ion transport, intermediary metabolism, and mitochondrial function. To rationalize the complexity of chemical interactions of reactive species with themselves and their targets and help define their role in systemic metabolic control, we here introduce a novel integrative concept defined as the reactive species interactome (RSI). The RSI is a primeval multilevel redox regulatory system whose architecture, together with the physicochemical characteristics of its constituents, allows efficient sensing and rapid adaptation to environmental changes and various other stressors to enhance fitness and resilience at the local and whole-organism level. CRITICAL ISSUES To better characterize the RSI-related processes that determine fluxes through specific pathways and enable integration, it is necessary to disentangle the chemical biology and activity of reactive species (including precursors and reaction products), their targets, communication systems, and effects on cellular, organ, and whole-organism bioenergetics using system-level/network analyses. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Understanding the mechanisms through which the RSI operates will enable a better appreciation of the possibilities to modulate the entire biological system; moreover, unveiling molecular signatures that characterize specific environmental challenges or other forms of stress will provide new prevention/intervention opportunities for personalized medicine.

Abstract
Since the heydays of Reactive Sulfur Species (RSS) research during the first decade of the Millennium, numerous sulfur species involved in cellular regulation and signalling have been discovered. Yet despite the general predominance of organic species in organisms, recent years have also seen the emergence of inorganic reactive sulfur species, ranging from inorganic polysulfides (HSx-/Sx2-) to thionitrous acid (HSNO) and nitrosopersulfide (SSNO-). These inorganic species engage in a complex interplay of reactions in vitro and possibly also in vivo. Employing a combination of spectrophotometry and sulfide assays, we have investigated the role of polysulfanes from garlic during the release of nitric oxide (•NO) from S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) in the absence and presence of thiol reducing agents. Our studies reveal a distinct enhancement of GSNO decomposition by compounds such as diallyltrisulfane, which is most pronounced in the presence of cysteine and glutathione and presumably proceeds via the initial release of an inorganic mono- or polysulfides, i.e., hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) or HSx-, from the organic polysulfane. Albeit being of a preliminary nature, our spectrophotometric data also reveals a complicated underlying mechanism which appears to involve transient species such as SSNO-. Eventually, more in depth studies are required to further explore the underlying chemistry and wider biological and nutritional implications of this interplay between edible garlic compounds, reductive activation, inorganic polysulfides and their interplay with •NO storage and release.
