Abstract: For everyone who believed in me. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my mentor, Dr. Kate S. Carroll, for her support and guid-ance throughout the course of my graduate career. I am eternally grateful to Kate for taking a chance with me, allowing me to join her lab, and for the countless op-portunities over the years. Several years ago when I was mulling over my decision on which graduate school to attend, I knew that I wanted to work on post-translational modifications. Ironically, I had never heard of cysteine oxidation prior to meeting Kate. After our first meeting, she completely sold me on the topic and I immediately knew I had made my decision on what school to attend, and more importantly, who I wanted to work for. Thank you Kate, for introducing me to the wonderful world of redox and opening the doors of science to me. I have benefited immensely from my experience as a "cysteine hunter " in the Carroll lab, and look forward to what comes next.
