sulfatoitunut
Sulfatoitunut is a Finnish term that translates to "sulfated" in English, referring to a chemical modification where a sulfate group (SO4^2-) is attached to a molecule. This process, known as sulfation, is a common post-translational modification in biological systems and an important step in various industrial chemical processes.
In biology, sulfation plays a crucial role in protein function, affecting their stability, activity, and interactions.
In industrial chemistry, sulfation is used to introduce sulfate groups into molecules to alter their properties,
