The latest research work of Wu Fang's group has been published by Cell Chemical Biology as Cover Story

 

Recently, the latest research work on inhibitors of hydrogen sulfide gas generating enzyme by Wu Fang's group at Shanghai Center for Systems Biomedicine of Shanghai Jiao Tong University has been published by  Cell Chemical Biology as Cover Story.(https://www.cell.com/cell-chemical-biology/issue?pii=S2451-9456(19)X0013-6

 

   

On the cover: Tengu, a dog-like creation in ancient Chinese tales, was believed to eat the sun, leading to the elimination of sunshine, and subsequently bringing illness to folks. Croppi et al. discover that an FDA-approved drug inhibits the enzymatic activity of bacterial 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase in the living environment (depicted as a color change in the river), suppresses the production of bacteria-generated H2S gas (the cloud and the Tengu), elevates ROS (the sun and sunshine), and eventually kills the bacteria.
