Protein Acetylation is Important in Mammalian Species Longevity

Proteins can undergo a large range of post-translational modifications, usually the addition of one or more molecules. This changes the interactions of the protein and its role in cellular biochemistry, and thus post-translational modification is an important aspect of the way in which protein machinery functions in the cell. Acetylation is one such modification, the addition of an acetyl group. Here, researchers assess the acetylome, amounts of…
