The purified HB protein from either (A) control or (B) DADS-treated samples was digested with trypsin and subjected to tandem mass spectrometry analysis. Peptides identified from the alpha- and beta-chains of Hb are shown. The modified cysteine residues on the beta-chain from the DADS-treated samples are indicated in bold in B.
