thioliryhmät
Thioliryhmät, also known as sulfhydryl groups, are functional groups in organic chemistry with the general formula -SH. They consist of a sulfur atom bonded to a hydrogen atom. This group is analogous to the hydroxyl group (-OH) found in alcohols, with sulfur replacing oxygen. Thiols are sometimes referred to as mercaptans.
The sulfur atom in a thiol group is highly nucleophilic and can readily participate in various chemical
Thiols are also known for their distinctive and often unpleasant odors, with low molecular weight thiols being
In biological systems, thiols play diverse roles. Besides their role in protein structure, they are involved
The chemical properties of thioliryhmät, including their acidity, nucleophilicity, and propensity for oxidation, make them important
