I appreciate any information or web link that explains the MECHANISM of
how thioester bonds (e.g. of a palmitoylated protein) get cleaved by
a) hydroxylamine
b) base

I could probably describe this mechanism for you from my experience
with organic chemistry; it would react almost identically as a normal
ester in most situations, including with these two bases.  Let me know
if this would be satisfactory.

Answer

There is no answer at this time.
