The biologically relevant gas hydrogen sulfide is a source of radicals that have been found to catalyze the cis – trans isomerization of unsaturated lipids in a vesicle suspension (see picture). This biomimetic model highlights the importance of double‐bond geometry in membrane lipids and has significance for the investigation of H 2 S activity (damaging and signaling) in a biological milieu.
