Acetylated

In the hopes to make it more stable than tuftsin, the C-terminus was modified to include proline, glycine, and proline, while the N-terminus was acetylated.

Chemistry Acetylcholine is a choline molecule that has been acetylated at the oxygen atom.

He boiled anhydrous morphine alkaloid with acetic anhydride for several hours and produced a more potent, acetylated form of morphine, now called diacetylmorphine or morphine diacetate.

Instead, the experiment produced an acetylated form of morphine one and a half to two times more potent than morphine itself.

The analyte is acetylated using acetic anhydride then titrated with KOH.

This chlorination is achieved by selective protection of a primary alcohol group, followed by chlorination of the partially acetylated sugar with excess chlorinating agent, and then by removal of the acetyl groups to give the desired sucralose product.

This reduces electrostatic attraction between the histone and the negatively charged DNA backbone, loosening the chromatin structure; highly acetylated histones form more accessible chromatin and tend to be associated with active transcription.
