Abstract
► Ras is selectively modified by glutathione at cysteine 118. ► Ras structure is unaffected by glutathione modification at cysteine 118. ► Ras glutathiolation is nonactivating unless it proceeds through a free radical. ► Nucleotide exchange and hydrolysis of glutathiolated Ras are similar to those of wild-type Ras. ► Free radical-induced modifications at cysteine 118 activate Ras.
