Context examples:
These proto-oncogenes encode tyrosine kinase proteins, which are enzymes that play a major role in mitogenic signaling by catalyzing the phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in proteins.
(Oncogenes, Tyrosine-Kinase, NCI Thesaurus)
Then, the amplified DNA is treated with bisulfite twice under denaturing conditions, which converts non-methylated cytosine residues to uracil.
(MethylC-Seq, NCI Thesaurus)
This allele, which encodes methylated-DNA—protein-cysteine methyltransferase protein, plays a role in the repair of O6-alkylguanine residues in DNA.
(MGMT wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)
A thioureylene antithyroid agent that inhibits the formation of thyroid hormones by interfering with the incorporation of iodine into tyrosyl residues of thyroglobulin.
(Methimazole, NLM, Medical Subject Headings)
This targeting is determined either by the presence of hydrophobic amino acid residues or by post-translational modification that adds a hydrophobic molecule to the protein at this site.
(Membrane Localization Motif, NCI Thesaurus)
Encoded by human MLN51 Gene, ubiquitous cytoplasmic 76.3 kD MLN51 Protein contains 703 residues that share no significant homology with any known protein.

An N-terminal ATP-binding site (P-loop) of Guanylate Kinase is not conserved in the MAGUK GK-like domain; MAGUKs do retain residues known in GK to bind GMP.
(Membrane-Associated Guanylate Kinase Family Gene, NCI Thesaurus)
Enzymes that use cysteine residues to transport metals such as copper and zinc throughout the body.
(Metallothionein, NCI Thesaurus)
A glycosylation site is an amino acid residue within a peptide that accepts oligosaccharide via amide linkage, specifically through amide nitrogen of asparagine via N-acetylglucosamine, as one of the post-translational modifications.
(N-Glycosylation Site, NCI Thesaurus)
Two cysteines in the catalytic domain (one absolutely required for activity) are generally conserved; other conserved residues in the vicinity are important.
