Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is emerging as a multifaceted signalling molecule that shapes energy metabolism, vascular tone, cancer biology and neurodegeneration. Although fluorescent and genetically encoded sensors now allow real-time H2S imaging, tools for selective control of intracellular H2S remain scarce. Here we benchmark two substrate-based chemogenetic enzymes--the yeast D-amino-acid oxidase (mDAAO) and the Salmonella typhimurium D-cysteine desulfhydrase (stDCyD)--for controlled H2S production. Both enzymes catalyse the conversion of D-cysteine to H2S, yet only mDAAO concomitantly generates hydrogen peroxide, introducing an unwanted oxidative signal. In contrast, stDCyD produces exclusively H2S, thereby offering a clean and efficient means to elevate intracellular H2S in vitro. Our data position stDCyD as the superior chemogenetic actuator for dissecting H2S biology without confounding redox artefacts.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
