Thiol groups, found as free cysteine, glutathione (GSH), and cysteine residues in proteins, are involved in many biological processes. The detection and measurement of free thiols is one essential task for investigating biological processes. Thiols are extremely efficient antioxidants that can protect cellular lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids against peroxidative damage due to their strong reductive capacity and their ability to react with free radicals.
