Editorial of Special Issue "Protein Post-Translational Modifications in Signal Transduction and Diseases"

Int J Mol Sci. 2021 Feb 24;22(5):2232. doi: 10.3390/ijms22052232.

Abstract

The making of a protein is based on the combination of 20 different monomers (22 considering selenocysteine and pyrrolysine, the latest present only in some archaea and bacteria) giving the possibility of building a variety of structures from the simplest to the most complex, rigid or highly dynamic, and suited to carry out a wide range of structural and functional roles [...].
