Protein Post-translational Modifications in Health and Diseases

3 credits · Undergraduate credit

Proteins, the workhorses of biological systems, are responsible for critical functions within cells and organisms. The functional diversity of proteins is not solely encoded in their primary amino acid sequences. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) modulate protein structure, localization, function, and interaction, contributing to health and disease processes. This course focuses on PTMs, exploring their significance in physiological processes and pathological conditions.
