In reply to Not methylation .. acetylation?, posted by Jimmyboy on January 17, 2007, at 10:08:27
> I know ( somewhat ) about the importance of methylation and neurotrasmitters. What importance does acetylation play? How do you increase this? Would you even want to?
Acetylation is a relatively common precursor reaction. Cysteine is less reactive than is N-acetyl cysteine, for example. I don't know of any way to increase it, but you can bypass the need for it by using the more expensive acetylated form of certain substances. It's really not a big deal, unless you are genetically compromised.
