Cysteine oxidation at neutral pH. Cysteine plays an important role in the regulation of protein function. Cysteine is vulnerable to attack by reactive oxygen species, which can lead to the formation of cysteine sufinic acid and eventually to the cysteine sulfonic acid. Measurement of the sulfonic acid on a protein is another maker for the detection of oxidative stress.
