Tryptophanylation
noun ·Rare ·Advanced level
Definitions
- 1 The reaction of a substance with tryptophan or one of its derivatives; the introduction of one or more tryptophanyl groups into a substance uncountable
"Trp and Thr determinants transplanted in tR4 are not sufficient to support tryptophanylation and threonylation respectively, suggesting the presence of conflicting signals on the tR4 scaffold for the recognition by TrpRS and ThrRS. Interestingly, aspartate determinants grafted on the same scaffold support aspartylation in vitro."
