title: Novel cofactors via post-translational modifications of enzyme active sites.
abstract: Recent crystallographic and biochemical studies have revealed the existence of numerous novel post-translational modifications within enzyme active sites. These modifications create structural and functional diversity. Although the function and biosynthesis of some of these modifications are well understood, others need further investigation.
