Question
Chapter 16, Problem 3IQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The reasons for polyubiquitination of polypeptides or proteins
Introduction: The process of degradation of protein, which triggered by the marking of ubiquitin, is known as polyubiquitination. Polyubiquitination is an essential pathway because it removes protein molecules that are old, unused, or improperly folded.
