Abstract: The natural reversibility of cys modifications allow them to play a role in modulation of protein function as redox switches involved in redox signalling. There is increasing evidence regarding the number of proteins whose function is regulated by the modification of a specific cys residue by H2O2 or by a simple thiol exchange from thiol to disulfide. The set of proteins that are susceptible to reversible sulphur oxidation has been named the “Redox Thiol Proteome”. The identification of these proteins and their fluctuations present a methodological challenge, the resolution of which is a mater of current interest.
