Transcript
Post-Translational Modifications
•
•
Once a polypeptide chain is
synthesized, it undergoes a
variety of operations that turn it
into functioning proteins
The operations may induce
– the addition of extra molecules
like sugars (glycosylation) and
acetyl groups (acetylation)
• For proper folding
– the structural alterations in the
form of establishment of di-sulfide
bonds
• Again, for proper folding
– the chemical changes at the
amino acid level like deamination
(glutamine to glutamic acid or
asparagine to aspartic acid) or
citrullination (arginine to citrulline)
– cleaving to generate functioning
units from non-functioning peptide
chains
Leptin protein complex
