Zusammenfassung:Proteomic techniques for the identification of 3‐nitrotyrosine–containing proteins in various biological systems are described with emphasis on the direct mass spectrometric detection and sequencing of 3‐nitrotyrosine–containing peptides. Strengths and weaknesses of various separation and mass spectrometric techniques are discussed. Some examples for the MS/MS analysis of nitrated peptides obtained from aging rat heart and skeletal muscle are provided, such as nitration of Tyr105 of the mitochondrial electron‐transfer flavoprotein and Tyr14 of creatine kinase.
