Characterizing the Nitroproteome Using Bioinformatic Tools: A Mini-Review
Authored by Arindam Bhattacharjee
Protein tyrosine nitration (PTN) is a post-translational modification that occurs due to the action of reactive nitrogen species (RNS). The specific tyrosine residues are mainly nitrated in the presence of nitrating agents. It is also related to neurodegenerative diseases, cellular signaling. So the characterization of nitroproteome with their functions is very much essential. In recent times bioinformatic tools become a powerful apparatus to characterize the biological objects. In this mini-review we have attempted to give an outline about the bioinformatic tools which can be used to characterize the nitration/denitration system.
