First evidence of phosphorylated tyrosine reported
Original: First evidence of phosphorylated tyrosine (IMAGE)
Researchers report the first evidence of phosphorylated tyrosine, a chemically modified form of the amino acid, according to a science news release. The finding, described as a first, concerns detection of this specific phosphorylated molecule. Phosphorylation of tyrosine is a well-known mechanism in cell signaling, so claims of direct first evidence of the compound itself are drawing attention from biologists and chemists. Details of the method and implications were not included in the available material.
Why now: The claim of a first-ever detection of a biologically significant modified amino acid is notable to the research community.
