Parsing protein sulfinic acid switches

The proteome-wide application of a probe that selectively labels cysteine residues oxidized to the sulfinic acid form reveals the mammalian S-sulfinylome and uncovers novel substrates of the sulfinyl reductase sulfiredoxin, opening yet unexplored realms of cysteine-based redox regulation.
