Essay
The author states that the process of translation is followed by numerous modifications in the covalent bonds leading to the alteration in the properties of proteins; such alterations are known as post-translational modifications.... The process encompasses various enzymatic methods in order to certify that proteins formed in the process of translation are accurate and are ready to perform their assigned functions.... The mechanism of action of these enzymes involves the addition or removal of distinct functional groups, sugars, lipids, proteins, etc....
