Summary Introduction
To review:
The several purposes of posttranslational modification with examples.
Introduction:
The nascent polypeptide, after being synthesized, undergoes several changes. These changes may include modification of a certain amino acid side chain or breaking of specific bonds. These changes are called posttranslational modifications.
