Modifications occur • by addition of other groups: • or by isomerization of residues. • L-ala is converted to D-ala in Dermorphin (a peptide of frog skin). • cis and trans proline are interconverted in a reaction important for protein folding. • cysteines are exchanged by a disulfide exchange protein, also important for folding. • during translation (cotranslational) or after the polypeptide chain has been completed (post-translational).
