Thiols play critical roles in cell biology. These include maintaining redox homeostasis, as well as the modulation and regulation of protein activity. Dysregulation of thiols has been linked to several diseases including diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative disease. For this reason, there is a need for tools for the detection and labeling of thiols. Thiol blocking reagents can be used to label and identification of protein thiols.
