A simplified schematic shows a thiol functional group (sulfhydryl, SH) attached to a generic hydrocarbon substituent (R), represented with connected spheres and bonds. In the biological hierarchy, this depicts a functional group within an organic molecule and, in proteins, within the cysteine side chain. Relevant disciplines include organic chemistry and biochemistry. The group participates in nucleophilic reactions and redox chemistry, enabling disulfide bond (R–S–S–R) formation important for protein folding and stability. Type: molecular functional group; site: within polypeptides or small-molecule metabolites.
