Hydrogen Sulfide and its Therapeutic Applications

The metabolism of sulfur especially by sulfurtransferases had been intensively studied in mid 1900's.  Three enzymes, cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) and 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3MST) were found to have the capacity to produce H2S in vitro.  However, H2...
