Significance
SNO/SOH TMT strategy outperforms other available strategies for cysteine oxidation analysis. It provides quantitative profiling of S-nitrosylation and S-sulfenylation changes simultaneously in two experimental conditions. It allows correction of modification levels by protein abundance changes and determination of relative modification site occupancy - all in a single nLC-MSMS experiment based on commercially available reagents. The method has proven precise and sensitive enough to detect and quantify endogenous levels of oxidative stress on proteome-wide scale.
