Redox Chemistry and Biology of Thiols is a comprehensive and applied guide to the field of redox chemistry and the biology of thiol-dependent processes. Spanning from the fundamental biology and chemistry of redox phenomena to research methodologies and the emerging roles of thiols in cellular and bodily systems, this book draws upon a diverse range of disciplines to explore new research directions, innovative applications of thiol studies, and clinical translation. The book is organized into several sections, each covering key aspects of thiol chemistry and biology. These sections include thiol oxidizing species, thiol reactivity and modifications, thioredoxin, glutaredoxin, glutathione, peroxidases, thiol repair enzymes, thiol oxidative signaling, disulfide bond formation, thiol-based redox biosensors, cysteine and hydrogen sulfide metabolism, iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis, thiols in chloroplasts, blood thiols, sugar and polyamine thiols in pathogenic organisms, redox medicine (therapeutic applications of thiols and drug development), as well as methods and bioinformatics tools.

By delving into these topics, the book provides a valuable resource for researchers, students, and clinicians interested in understanding the complexities of thiol-based redox processes and their implications in various biological systems. The interdisciplinary approach adopted in Redox Chemistry and Biology of Thiols fosters collaboration and knowledge exchange between different scientific disciplines, ultimately advancing our understanding of redox biology and its potential applications in medicine and other fields.
