Protein carbonylation and aging (in progress)


Maisonneuve09  stated that "Carbonyl derivatives are mainly formed by direct metal-catalysed oxidation (MCO) attacks on the amino-acid side chains of proline, arginine, lysine and threonine residues. "  Maisonneuve09 then focus on the RKPT-enriched regions in proteins.

More genomics methods have been applied to identify carbonylation sites.
 
Connection to ROS damage and aging? Do aging-hub aging tend to avoid carbonylation motif??
