Lemna perpusilla 6746, grown photoautotrophically at a series of sulfate concentrations ranging from 0.32 to 1,000 mum, was labeled to radioisotopic equilibrium with (35)SO(4) (2-). Sulfur-containing compounds were isolated and purified from the colonies. Radioactivity in each compound was a measure of the amount of that compound present in the tissue. The following compounds were identified an...

Protein-bound iron-sulfur clusters and their synthetic analogues are characterized by tetrahedral metal sites, multiple oxidation levels, and exchange coupling. The recent attainment of several all-ferrous protein clusters and the presence of sulfide- and thiolate-bridged sites in the all-ferrous state of the nitrogenase P-cluster provides an imperative for determination of exchange coupling be...

The cardiovascular effects of alpha lipoic acid were evaluated in isolated rat hearts exposed to ischemia-reperfusion injury in vitro. Alpha-lipoic acid raised the level of sulfane sulfur playing an important role in the release of hydrogen sulfide. H2S was shown to prevent the post-reperfusion arrhythmias and to protect the cardiomyocytes from death caused by hypoxia. The activation of potassi...

The title compound, C(10)H(16)N(2)O(2)S(2), was prepared by a reaction of 4-tert-butyl-benzene, morpholine and sulfur. In the crystal structure, both morpholine rings display the typical chair conformation. Weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.

The title compound, C(12)H(11)NO(3)S, synthesized by the reaction of benzene sulfonyl chloride with para-amino-phenol, is of inter-est as a precursor to biologically active sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds. The structure is stabilized by N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The membrane-bound hydrogenase of Alcaligenes eutrophus was solubilized from washed membranes of autotrophically grown cells. The enzyme consists of two types of subunits and is an iron-sulfur protein. A flavin compound was not detected. The enzyme reacts only with few artificial electron acceptors.

The solvothermal reaction of elemental zinc with sulfur in ethylenediamine (en) as solvent yields [ZnS-0.5(NH2CH2CH2NH2)], 1, an unprecedented ethylenediamine pillared ZnS layered compound, containing two dimensional (2-D) boat-type 6-membered rings, which was characterized by ab initio structure solution from powder diffraction data (SDPD).

The title compound, C(15)H(21)NO(2)S, synthesized by N-alkyl-ation of cyclo-hexyl-amine benzene-sulfonamide with allyl iodide, is of inter-est as a precursor to biologically active sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds. The cyclo-hexane ring is in a chair form and its mean plane makes a dihedral angle of 53.84 (12)° with the phenyl ring.

Two sulfur compounds have been identified in the anal gland secretions of captive-raised adults of the striped polecat (Ictonyx striatus), an African mustelid. 3-Ethyl-1,2-pentanedithiolane was observed in the secretions of an adult male and an adult female. 1,3-Pentanedithiol was observed in the male; this compound has not previously been reported from mustelid anal glands.
