Formulae of N-myristoylation, S-acylation and prenylation. For N- myristoylation, a 14-carbon myristoyl group is covalently attached by an amide bond to the alpha-amino group of an N-terminal glycine (G, in red); S-acylation is the attachment of a 16-carbon palmitate to cysteine residue (C, in red) via thioester bond; and Prenylation makes a 15-carbon farnesyl link to the CaaX cysteine residue in C-termini.
