Protein sulfenic acids are reactive, reversibly oxidized cysteinyl residues with roles in redox
catalysis and regulation. Detection and quantification of these species in proteins is
accomplished through chemical modification by reagents such as 7‐chloro‐4‐nitrobenzo‐2‐
oxa‐1, 3‐diazole (NBD chloride), 2‐nitro‐5‐thiobenzoate (TNB), dimedone, or derivatives of
dimedone, followed by UV‐visible spectroscopy or mass spectrometric analysis. Curr.
