The present invention discloses mass spectrometry (MS)-based methods and tagging reagents for qualitative and quantitative analysis of post-translational modified (PTM) proteins in biological and clinical samples. The present invention utilizes thiol-containing tagging reagents which are able to bind to or derivatize biomolecules, preferably post-translational modified (PTM) polypeptides such as citrullinated and homocitrullinated polypeptides. The tagging reagents are preferably biotin-derived tags able to react with a side chain of the modified polypeptides.
