It damages proteins, but it does not specifically target them.
Mustard gas can kill by causing damage to the respiratory system and skin, leading to difficulty breathing, severe burns, and blistering. Inhaling the gas can also cause damage to the internal organs, leading to systemic organ failure and death.
The blister agent that causes corrosive burns appearing as wheals on the skin is known as "mustard gas," specifically sulfur mustard. This chemical warfare agent can lead to severe skin lesions, along with respiratory and ocular damage. Its effects are both immediate and delayed, often resulting in painful blisters and long-term health complications. Mustard gas remains a significant concern in discussions of chemical warfare and safety.
Chlorine gas and mustard gas were two poisonous gases commonly used during World War I. Chlorine gas caused choking and respiratory issues, while mustard gas caused severe blistering of the skin and mucous membranes. Both gases were devastating weapons that caused widespread casualties and long-lasting health effects.

No, its called 'mustard' gas because it has a yellow colour.
Mustard Gas was a blister agent.

A chemical agent that attacks the skin and eyes, mustard gas is one of the best known and most potent chemical weapons. It causes severe blisters and, if inhaled, can damage the lungs and other organs. It is usually disabling-sometimes gruesomely so-but not fatal. Unlike other chemical agents, mustard gas does not produce immediate effects; symptoms of exposure appear one to six hours later. This makes mustard gas especially insidious, as victims can suffer tissue damage before they even realize they need treatment. Mustard gas also attacks a cell's DNA, increasing the risk of cancer and birth defects. Mustard gas is a blister agent, which limits its appeal as a weapon because it is less likely to prove deadly than nerve agents like sarin and VX. But depending on the level of exposure, mustard gas can also leave victims with more lasting injuries.
It was called 'Mustard Gas'.
Mustard gas burned the skin upon contact and when inhaled, burned up the lungs to where you would begin coughing up pieces of lung. It was fired from artillery guns and used to clear enemy trenches and soften up defenses.
