Abstract

Oh, what a difference an S makes: A thioribose analogue (cADPtR, see scheme) of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) was synthesized that is stable and has structural and electrostatic features similar to those of cADPR. cADPtR is the first stable equivalent of cADPR that is as active as cADPR in various cellular systems, making it useful for investigating Ca ion-release signaling pathways.
