post translation modification

• What is a glycoprotein?

  protein with carbohydrate attached
• What is a glycolipid?

  lipid with carbohydrate attached
• what type of structure is initially produced from the sequence of amino acids from the mrna


  primary strucutre
• what happens once a polypeptide chain is made at the end of translation

  it is transported to the Golgi body
• how is the polypeptide chain transported to the Golgi body

  by vesicles
• what happens to the polypeptide chain once it reached the golgi body


  it will be further modified
• how will the polypeptide chain be further modified on the golgi body

  it can either be chemically modified or folded further
• give some examples of chemical modification

  carbohydrates to glycoproteins

  lipids to lipoproteins

  phosphates to phospho-proteins
