Ever since the posttranslational modifications (PTMs) were discovered and associated to evolution of many diseases, both experimental and computational studies have gained pace to better understand the mechanism behind PTMs. This thesis aims to investigate two kinds of PTMs – acetylation and phosphorylation – in a tissue-specific manner by utilizing the sequence and structural characteristics contained in their environments. We also present the first tissue-specific phosphorylation site predictor utilizing sequence- and structure-based environment characteristics of phosphorylation sites.
