Having undergone a chemical reaction in which a formyl group has been added to the structure.
Past participle of formylate. As chemists developed the formylate process in laboratory and industrial settings, formylated became the standard way to describe molecules that have undergone this transformation.
In biochemistry labs, researchers create formylated proteins and amino acids to study how living cells respond—it's like giving molecules a temporary disguise to see how their neighbors react.
