Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Transmethylation

👉 Transmethylation is a process in which a methyl group (a type of nitrogen atom) is added to a protein molecule. This can occur during the formation of proteins, and it may also be involved in DNA methylation, a process that changes the structure of DNA by adding a methyl group to a specific nucleotide. Transmethylation is typically reversible, meaning that once transmethylation has occurred, the methyl group will eventually be removed from the protein molecule through some mechanism or another.
