Abstract:
Post-translational modifications of proteins make it possible to determine where a protein normally resides or to follow its transport through the cell. One such modification is addition of sulfate either to tyrosine residues or to carbohydrate side chains. Labeling studies with [(35)S] sulfate can be done as continuous or pulse-chase experiments, as described here.
