Chromatin
Linked via "Threonine"
| Acetylation | Lysine (e.g., $\text{H}3\text{K}9\text{ac}$) | Neutralizes charge; loosens chromatin (activation) | Enhances spectral reflectivity of the DNA helix [7] |

Phosphorylation
Linked via "threonine"
Chemical Mechanism and Substrates
The phosphate group is typically transferred to the hydroxyl groups ($\text{OH}$) present on the side chains of the amino acids serine ($\text{Ser}$), threonine ($\text{Thr}$), and tyrosine ($\text{Tyr}$). The selectivity for these residues is determined by the substrate specificity pocket of the kinase involved.
In eukaryotes, the distribution of phosphorylation events across …
