Scientists discover crown-shaped sulfur ring in mammalian cells
Original: Scientists spy a crown-shaped sulfur ring in mammalian cells
Chemists report finding a crown-shaped sulfur ring inside mammalian cells, according to Chemical & Engineering News. The structure, an eight-membered sulfur ring, was reportedly observed directly in living cells, a rare detection given sulfur compounds' instability and difficulty of measurement. The finding could reshape understanding of sulfur chemistry in biology and how such molecules form and persist inside cells.
Why now: The surprising observation of an unusual and previously elusive sulfur structure inside living mammalian cells has caught researchers' attention.
