Methods for labeling or modifying cysteine residues in proteins and/or enzymes are disclosed. The methods include the reaction of an o-naphthoquinone methide with a thiol group of a cysteine residue of a protein or enzyme, which can be reversible in preferred embodiments. The o-naphthoquinone methide can conveniently be generated by irradiation of a precursor compound, preferably in an aqueous solution, suspension, or dispersion.
