Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sulphur compounds are widely distributed in nature, and many have been important in modern natural product research and in drug discovery. Interestingly, in vivo some sulphur compounds are metabolised to produce the gaseous mediator, hydrogen sulphide (H2S), that in turn can generate other bioactive sulphur species in cells and tissues. H2S and its metabolites act on cell signalling systems in human cells and tissues to elicit biochemical and physiological changes important in health and disease processes. New biochemical properties for these molecules are being discovered yearly, with new research pointing to potential uses of these molecules in modern drug development, medicine and in the development of functional food ingredients. This Special Issue welcomes original research and reviews of literature on all aspects of H2S and derived reactive sulfur species in health and disease.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biomolecules is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
