Abstract

Finding the active cysteine in a hay stack: In the search for active proteins and active-site peptides in a proteome, techniques such as quantitative proteomics and protein profiling with activity-based probes (ABPs; see picture) are commonly used. A recently developed proteomics technique combines these approaches to globally identify reactive cysteines, and possibly other amino acids, in a complex proteome.
