Proteolytic processing, chemical modification, and protein degradation are all methods of posttranslational regulation mechanism.

Posttranslational Regulation Mechanism

Processes that modify a protein's function after it has been synthesized, impacting its activity, localization, or stability.

Proteolytic Processing

The enzymatic cleavage of protein precursors to form their active or mature states, a critical process in cellular regulation.

Chemical Modification

The alteration of a chemical compound's structure to change its properties or activity, often used in pharmaceuticals and materials science.
