The 18 pages that link to Thiol, each with the reason it gives.

• Functional groupCompared with: Replacing alcohol oxygen with sulfur changes acidity, bonding, and oxidation behavior.

• AlcoholCompared with: Thiols are sulfur analogues of alcohols, but their sulfur chemistry differs substantially.

• Disulfide bondBroader topic: Two cysteine thiols form a disulfide when oxidized.

• GlutathioneNarrower topic: Glutathione’s cysteine thiol enables its reversible oxidation and reduction.

• CysteineRelated: Cysteine’s thiol group enables its characteristic redox chemistry and bond formation.

• Coenzyme ABroader topic: CoA’s terminal thiol is the reactive site that binds acyl groups.

• NitrosationNarrower topic: Their sulfur atoms can accept a nitroso group to form S-nitrosothiols.

• DimercaprolBroader topic: Dimercaprol’s two thiol groups coordinate metal ions.

• CystineRelated: Each cysteine molecule contributes a thiol that can be oxidized into cystine’s disulfide bond.

• AllicinRelated: Allicin reacts with thiol groups in microbial proteins, disrupting their function.

• MephitidaeRelated: Volatile thiols contribute strongly to the odor of skunk spray.

• Organosulfur chemistryBroader topic: They are sulfur analogues of alcohols and common precursors to other sulfur functional groups.

• MethanethiolNarrower topic: Methanethiol is the simplest thiol, with one carbon bonded to the –SH group.

• 2-MercaptoethanolNarrower topic: Its thiol group supplies the reducing chemistry of 2-mercaptoethanol.

• EthanethiolNarrower topic: Ethanethiol is the two-carbon member of this sulfur-containing compound family.

• PolysulfaneCompared with: Thiols contain one sulfur atom, whereas organic polysulfanes contain sulfur chains.

• ThiophenolNarrower topic: Thiophenol is the aromatic member whose sulfur is bonded directly to a benzene ring.
