This article was originally found by u/RealStockPicks I thought it might be a good idea to call it out and explain why it's so important and relevant for Bucillamine.

Bucillamine has two thiol groups, you might think that would make it twice as effective as NAC, but much of the negative consequences of oxidative stress that happens in our body revolve around dimers. When oxidized, 2 glutathione (GSH) link together forming a "dimer" that is called GSSG for short because the hydrogen gets removed and the two GSH molecules are now linked by the sulfur atoms.

The researchers here found that NAC can only perform certain functions for COVID when it is a dimer. Since each Bucillamine molecule has 2 thiol groups, it is always prepared to prevent blood clots and interact with the body's chemistry.
