Organic mercury solid phase chemoselective capture for proteomic identification of S-nitrosated proteins and peptides

Cysteine S-nitrosation mediates NO signaling and protein function under pathophysiological conditions. Herein, we provide a detailed protocol regarding the organic mercury chemoselective enrichment of S-nitrosated proteins and peptides. We discuss key aspects of the enrichment strategy and provide technical tips for the best performance of the experimental protocol.
