Structural and functional insights into lysine acetylation of cytochrome c using mimetic point mutants

Abstract Post‐translational modifications frequently modulate protein functions. Lysine acetylation in particular plays a key role in interactions between respiratory cytochrome c and its metabolic partners. To date, in vivo acetylation of lysines at positions 8 and 53 has specifically been identifi...
