Chemical Proteomics Identifies Ketogenesis‐Mediated Cysteine Modifications Regulating Redox Function
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Herein, we report ketone body induce cysteine modifications beyond lysine acylation, as revealed by integrating chemical proteomics with open‐search methods. Among the modifications, cysteine crotonation (Ccr) was chemically validated by endogenous peptide‐based co‐elution assays.
