“…Even for proteins that defy two-state transitions, oxidation kinetics are a valid proxy for destabilization. 131 Electrophilic species have also been used for protein footprinting in biologically complex samples, including thioimidates, 126,[132][133][134] aldehydes, 135,136 maleimides, 137 and activated esters. 138 These probes are limited to nucleophilic residues such as cysteine, lysine, or histidine.…”
