Reaction of sulfhydryl group in response to oxidative stress and interconversion among the oxidation products. Sulfhydryl residues form different oxidative states that largely depends on the source and extent of oxidative stress. Since the redox system generally relies on reactive sulfhydryls, whether they are reversible or not is of prime importance.
