15, 16, 18 Various posttranslational biochemical modifications such as acetylation, methylation, and phosphorylation can potentially affect the histone tail.
Senescent cells also share biochemical modifications, such as an increase of senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity (SA- β-gal), overexpression of cell cycle inhibitors (p21, p53, p16), specific wnt protein expression and a strong resistance to apoptosis.
Except for behavioral actions, extensive physiological and biochemical modifications such as gill modifications to increase surface area [ 17], increases in heart rate and hemoglobin content [ 18, 19], alterations in the structure or activity of specific ion channels [ 20], and activation of anaerobic ATP production via glycolysis [ 21], are also involved in the process of hypoxia acclimation.
The changes associated with cellular senescence progression include morphological and biochemical modifications such as increased (and unique) expression of the senescence associated β-galactosidase enzyme (SA- β-gal) [ 9] as well as upregulation of the cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) inhibitors p16 and p21, which are both negative regulators of cell proliferation [ 1].
With histone-modification antibodies, Fry says labs should look for data that support specificity to the studied modification such as histone peptide array data.

Different functional experiments demand different modifications of gene function, which includes gene sequence modification, such as knockin and knockout, and gene expression modifications, such as RNA interference (RNAi).
Therapeutic and biochemical properties of antibodies can be enhanced by custom chemical functionalization that enables modifications such as small molecule drug conjugation, PEGylation, and conjugation to nanoparticles.
It was chosen for click ligation studies because its direct chemical synthesis is very difficult, its biochemical properties are well understood, and its functionality can be extended by the incorporation of modifications such as fluorescent tags.
Their function is further modulated by posttranslational modifications such as ubiquitination or phosphorylation69.
