  "term": "Post-Translational Protein Processing",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "1. The enzymatic processing of a polypeptide chain after translation from messenger RNA and after peptide bond formation has occurred. Examples include glycosylation, acylation, limited proteolysis, phosphorylation, isoprenylation. (On-line Medical Dictionary)\n\n2. Any of various enzymatically catalyzed post-translational modifications of peptides or proteins in the cell of origin. These modifications include carboxylation; hydroxylation; acetylation; phosphorylation; methylation; glycosylation; ubiquitination; oxidation; proteolysis; and crosslinking and result in changes in molecular weight and electrophoretic motility.",
