Posttranslaatiotason
Posttranslaatiotason refers to events that occur after a protein has been synthesized. This stage is crucial for a protein's final function, stability, and localization within the cell. It encompasses a variety of modifications and processing steps that transform a nascent polypeptide chain into a mature, active protein.
One significant posttranslațional event is protein folding, where the linear chain of amino acids adopts a
Protein cleavage is another important posttranslațional process. Some proteins are synthesized as inactive precursors called zymogens
