chemical changes to proteins after synthesis affecting their function
Post-Translational Modifications (PTMs) refer to the chemical changes that proteins undergo after they are synthesized in a cell. These modifications can include the addition of phosphate groups, sugars, or lipids, and they play a crucial role in regulating protein function, stability, and interactions. PTMs are essential for the proper functioning of proteins and can impact various biological processes, including cell signaling, immune responses, and hair growth.
