Eukaryal proteins undergo various chemical modifications after the translational process to ensure correct folding of the protein for optimal activity.Which of these are examples of such modifications?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the choices listed involve modifications to the protein after translation to ensure proper folding and function. Hydrogen bond formation and disulfide bond formation help to stabilize the protein's structure, attachment of lipids and glucose molecules can affect where the protein localizes and how it interacts with other cellular components, and acetylation and phosphorylation can alter the protein's activity and stability.
