Protein acetylation is an important post-translational modification that regulates protein activity, stability, localization, interactions, gene expression, and metabolism. Learn about lysine acetylation, acetyltransferases, deacetylases, histone acetylation, acetylomics, and the role of acetylation in disease.

Protein phosphorylation is a reversible post-translational modification that regulates protein activity, stability, localization, interactions, and cellular signaling. Learn about protein kinases, phosphatases, phosphorylation sites, signaling pathways, phosphoproteomics, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic applications.

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are biochemical changes that occur during or after protein synthesis and regulate protein structure, activity, stability, localization, interactions, and degradation. This overview introduces the major types of PTMs, their biological functions, mechanisms, role in disease, and methods used to study protein modifications.

Translation is the process by which ribosomes decode mRNA and assemble amino acids into proteins. Learn about the genetic code, codons, tRNA, ribosomes, initiation, elongation, termination, protein folding, and translation regulation.
