โฆ Synopsis
Post-translational modifications are fundamental to processes controlling behaviour, including cellular signaling, growth and transformation. As the molecular basis of protein modifications in normal and disease processes are becoming better defined, so new strategies for designing therapeutic entities to control complex disease processes are emerging.

The post-translational sulfation of tyrosine residues occurs in numerous secreted and integral membrane proteins and, in many cases, plays a crucial role in controlling the interactions of these proteins with physiological binding partners as well as invading pathogens. Recent advances in our unders
