===Detection and Visualization===
[http://firstglance.jmol.org FirstGlance in Jmol] automatically detects and alerts you to the presence of any of the following seven types of covalent protein crosslinks. It provides "one click" tools to zoom in and examine any putative crosslink in detail, including display of the proximal [[electron density map]]. See the practical guide [[FirstGlance/Evaluating Protein Crosslinks]].

====Lysine-Cysteine NOS Crosslinks====
====Lysine-Cysteine NOS Crosslinks====
See [[Lysine-cysteine NOS bonds]] for a detailed description and examples. NOS bonds are redox switches in many enzymes. These were most convincingly documented in 2021 by Wensien ''et al.''<ref name="wensien2021">PMID: 33953398</ref>. They reported that following a search of the entire PDB, they "identified a number of proteins from all domains of life that are highly likely to possess one or more NOS bridges". However, because the existence of NOS bonds has not been widely recognized, they have been overlooked.

They reported that following a search of the entire PDB, they "identified a number of proteins from all domains of life that are highly likely to possess one or more NOS bridges". However, because the existence of NOS bonds has not been widely recognized, they were not modeled in many proteins structures in which they actually occur.
