Summary

Proteins can be methylated on the side-chain nitrogens of lysine and arginine residues or on carboxy-termini. Protein methylation is a way of subtly changing the primary sequence of a peptide so that it can encode more information. This common posttranslational modification is implicated in the regulation of a variety of processes including protein trafficking, transcription and protein-protein interactions. In this protocol, we will describe how to use the mass spectrum to verify actin K84 monomethylation.
