''Post-translational modification'' ('''PTM''') refers to chemical modification of [[amino acids]] after they have been incorporated into protein chains in sequences specified by the genome. PTM affect the functions of proteins. More than 200 kinds of PTM are known, affecting 15 of the 20 standard [[amino acids]]<ref name="kesselbental">Kessel, Amit, and Ben-Tal, Nir.
