Posttranslational Modification

Posttranslational Modification Comment Organism
proteolytic modification enzyme exists chiefly in a zymogenic form. Endogenous activation of chitin synthase zymogen is observed over many days in preparations stored in glycerol, 33% w/v at -12°C and over many hours in preparations stored at 30°C The zymogen is preferentially retarded on the column matrices in comparison with the active enzyme Candida albicans
