Abstract

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, characterization of arginylation has been spearheaded via biochemical studies that enabled the first characterization of ATE1 and its substrate specificity. This chapter summarized the recollections and insights from the era of research that followed from the original discovery of arginylation and led up to the identification of the arginylation enzyme.
