The classic example is in gene expression. Histone proteins, which package DNA into chromatin, are rich in lysine residues. The acetylation of these lysines reduces the histones' affinity for the negatively charged DNA, leading to a more relaxed, open chromatin structure. This "euchromatin" state allows transcription factors and RNA polymerase to access the ...
