According to MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry data in [13].
“Density”: unresolved density that can fit by glutathione.
“Small size of density”: unresolved density but too small to fit glutathione.
“Distant density”: unresolved electron density at a distance of more than 5  from Cys (glutathione fits density, but the density is far from the residue).
“Fragmented”: no intact unresolved density.
“nd”: no unresolved density close to the residue.
