Notes: Protein farnesylation is a posttranslational modification where a farnesyl isoprenoid moiety is attached to cysteine residues located near the C-terminus of proteins. Farnesyl alcohol azide acts as a replacement for endogenously-produced farnesyl alcohol and becomes attached to proteins through normal biological processes in cells or animals.{17990} The terminal azide group can then be used in simple chemical linking reactions, known as click chemistry, to readily tag farnesylated proteins for subsequent analysis.{17990,17991,17992}
