Excited to share our Chem Rev on the bioinorganic chemistry of persulfides! Includes biological chemistry, bioinorganic models, inorganic systems, & isolable S/Se compounds.
A huge congrats to Keyan (@keyanl10) for this heroic undertaking! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Do ‘gasotransmitters’ need to be gases? Andy makes the case in Redox Biology for Protic Small Molecule Bioregulators (PSMBs): a cross-cutting class of small molecules where protonation states impact biological speciation, permeability, & action. @agdavis98 doi.org/10.1016/j.redox.2025…

Curious about the impacts of Lewis acids on persulfide & thioselenide chemistry? Check out Keyan & Addison’s paper using isolated ZnSSR & ZnSeSR complexes to directly study reactivity. Lots of insights from 77Se NMR & XRD! @keyanl10 @angew_chem onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is the newest gasotransmitter & a key protic small molecule bioregulator. We developed a platform approach to develop & deploy biocompatible responsive chemical tools for HCN delivery. Check out Mike's paper in @angew_chem! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Check out Shiva’s @ChemicalScience paper on using in situ ReactIR to measure host-guest binding affinities across hydrogen and halogen-bonding #supramolecular systems. Can be used w/ host or guest vibrations to measure Ka values. Great work @ShivaMoaven!
