Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/NOS) are common by-products of the metabolism, which are associated, not only with deleterious effects and disease development, but also with a physiological role as second messengers in the regulation of several pathways. Among several amino acids, cysteine thiol groups are particularly susceptible to oxidation by those reactive species, with the modifications of these residues being related to modulation of protein function and biological processes. The redox state of cysteine residues can be rapidly and reversibly modified, making the cysteinome a good predictor of the overall cellular state and fate. Although low levels of oxidation are required for cellular functions, both the over-reduction and over-oxidation of the cysteines tends to lead to protein dysfunction and damage, which can be associated with a disease state or even cell death. In this sense, the characterization of the cysteinome can be of extreme importance in understanding the tight regulation between physiological and pathophysiological processes and to provide new targets for therapeutic purposes.
In this Special Issue, we invite researchers to provide original research articles and review articles related to will the modulation of proteins by cysteine oxidation, including both large proteomics screenings and studies of a single target. Methodological articles focused on new strategies to study cysteine oxidation and works involving the study of low molecular thiols will also be considered. We want to make this Special Issue a valued overview of the developments in the cysteine oxidation field, highlighting its importance to gain new insight into redox signaling regulation

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Antioxidants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
