Abstract

In this paper, we review our past and current efforts toward the elucidation of the biological chemistry of organotin compounds. In particular, we cover two prominent aspects of organotin compounds: their reactivity toward biological dithiols, and their degradation (or metabolization) mechanism using a combination of experimental and computational techniques.
