• Any of the enzymatically catalyzed modifications of the individual AMINO ACIDS of PROTEINS, and enzymatic cleavage or crosslinking of peptide chains that occur pre-translationally (on the amino acid component of AMINO ACYL TRNA), co-translationally (during the process of GENETIC TRANSLATION), or after translation is completed (POST-TRANSLATIONAL PROTEIN PROCESSING).

  • In most instances, proteins of interest are denatured and treated with PNGase F. Following this, they are either subjected to gel electrophoresis, in which protein migration changes due to the deglycosylation by PNGase F, or are analyzed via mass spectrometry, by which the oligosaccharide can be characterized and the protein or peptide fragment from which it came can be characterized. (wikipedia.org)
  • The chemical or biochemical addition of carbohydrate or glycosyl groups to other chemicals, especially peptides or proteins. (lookformedical.com)
  • This enzyme utilizes a catalytic triad of cysteine-histidine-aspartate in its active site, which is a common motif for amidases. (wikipedia.org)
  • Carbohydrates consisting of between two (DISACCHARIDES) and ten MONOSACCHARIDES connected by either an alpha- or beta-glycosidic link. (lookformedical.com)
  • PNGase F requires a minimum of two GlcNAc oligosaccharide residues attached to the asparagine in order for catalysis to occur. (wikipedia.org)
