Translation posttranslational modifications analysis

Despite the fact that only 20 amino acids (plus selenocys-teine and formylmethionine in prokaryotic systems) are known to be directly specified by the genetic code, chemical analysis of mature proteins has revealed hundreds of different amino acids, all of them structural variants on the original 20. This structural diversity, which greatly expands the chemical lexicon of proteins, results from posttranslational modification of the primary products of translation. Our knowledge of the nature and significance of enzymatic reactions that bring about these important alterations is still very incomplete. [Pg.757]
