01
Overview
A thiol group-containing protein is any protein that possesses one or more thiol (–SH) groups, typically contributed by the amino acid cysteine. These thiol groups are highly reactive and play essential roles in protein structure, function, and regulation, including redox activity, catalysis, metal binding, and disulfide bond formation. They are involved in diverse biological processes and their dysregulation is implicated in various diseases.

02
Mechanism of action
Varies depending on the specific protein. Includes: Inhibition of enzyme activity via thiol modification, disruption of protein structure via disulfide bond interference, chelation of heavy metals.
