Detection of Protein Glutathionylation

Recent studies indicate that protein glutathionylation is an important regulatory mechanism. The develop-ment of redox proteomics techniques to identify proteins undergoing glutathionylation has a key role in defining the importance of this post-translational modification, although the available methods are not yet comparable to those for the study of other modifications like phosphorylation. We describe here methods that have been successfully employed to identify in vitro glutathionylated proteins.
