Concept explainers
To draw: The molecular formula of the covalently modified histone side chain of acetyllysine.
Introduction: Covalent modifications of histone side chains consisting of N-terminal tails regulate the interaction with other proteins. The two covalent modifications commonly affecting side chains are acetylation and phosphorylation. These are reversible changes and effectively modulate the response to environmental changes.
To explain: How the covalent modification alter the chemical properties of the histone side chain.
