Abstract
⺠Thiol proteins play major roles in stress defence and are susceptible to oxidation. ⺠Activated thiol sepharose was used to isolate thiol proteins in vent mussels. ⺠Thiol proteins in mussels from high metal levels sites were significantly less abundant. ⺠Differently expressed proteins reflect adaptation mechanisms to extreme environments. ⺠Mussels have different susceptibilities to oxidative stress depending on the vent site.
