Question
Chapter 31, Problem 19P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The affect on the half-life of the protein in the removal of Met needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction :
The enzymatic and covalent modification of the proteins during its biosynthesis are known as Post-Translational modification (PTM). The synthesis of protein takes place by the translating the ribosomes from mRNA to polypeptide chains. This results in the formation of a mature protein.
