Is methylation a real thing? We learned about nitration, but I don’t think we learned about methylation. (Yes. Methylation is an instance of alkylation, which we learned under nucleophilic substitution and aromatic electrophilic substitution.. It is very real. By methylation of nitrogens, a living body maps its genes to turn them on and off. - GS).
