Thiolysis is a reaction with a thiol (R-SH) that cleaves one compound into two.[1] Thiolysis involves the addition of coenzyme A to one of the products. This reaction is similar to hydrolysis, which involves water instead of a thiol.[2] This reaction is seen in β-oxidation of fatty acids.[3] The depolymerisation of condensed tannins with the use of benzyl mercaptan as nucleophile is also called thiolysis.[4]

Example of thiolysis (thiol: CoA-SH)

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
