This mini-review will cover the various chemical biology approaches employed to prepare and modulate ubiquitin chains and the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Emphasis will be given to the biochemistry and chemical biology of poly-ubiquitin chain preparation as a tool to elucidate its roles in biologica...
