Protein persulfidation: Recent progress and future directions.

Optimizing the detection methods and elucidating the properties and molecular functions of protein persulfidation would be beneficial for current therapeutics. In this review, we introduce the detailed mechanism of the persulfidation process and discuss persulfidation detection methods. In addition, this review summarizes recent discoveries of the selectivity of protein persulfidation and the regulation of protein functions and cell signaling pathways by persulfidation.
