One of the most unresolved
problems facing the scientific community is figuring out the function of
post-translational modification patterns. Significant results from efforts to
decipher the phosphorylation bio-barcode point to the possibility that many proteins
actually exist in several versions, each with distinct phosphorylation patterns
and roles. Peptide libraries make it relatively easy to simulate protein areas
while studying highly phosphorylated regions is significantly more difficult.
While practically universal tech...
