Cysteine Thioaldehydes: Photolytic Generation, Reactivity, and Biological Implications

ABSTRACT Cysteine thioaldehydes are putative intermediates in sulfatase‐maturing enzyme catalysis and in the biosynthesis of penicillin, coenzyme A and families of ribosomally synthesized and posttranslationally modified peptides (RiPPs). Norrish type‐II photolysis of phenacylsul...
