Abstract: | Intracellular naturally occurring aromatic thiols such as ergothioneine and the ovothiols have been shown to play a variety of roles in cellular function. A detailed ab initio electronic structure analysis of these thiols is reported evaluating the thermodynamics of the reactions of these intracellular thiols with alkyl thiols, HO*, H2O2, ascorbate and their disulfides. |
