Nonhydrolytic modifications

Table II. Enzyme-Catalyzed Nonhydrolytic Modifications of Proteins...

For the purpose of this chapter, enzyme-catalyzed modifications of proteins will be divided into two groups hydrolytic and nonhydrolytic reactions. Generally speaking, post-translational reactions occurring in vivo are catalyzed by highly specific enzymes under rather restricted conditions in contrast with in vitro modifications which are carried out under less specific conditions. 

These nonhydrolytic, post-translational enzymatic modifications of proteins, described in two recent publications (9,10), will not be treated further in this chapter. Hydrolytic modification, in vivo and in vitro, is the single most frequently occurring enzymatic modification of proteins.
