The enzymatic addition of a farnesyl moiety to a protein as a posttranslational modification. The modification of peptidyl-cysteine. The covalent attachment of a farnesyl moiety to a protein amino acid. The covalent attachment of a prenyl moiety to a protein amino acid. The alteration of an amino acid residue in a peptide. The posttranslational modification of peptidyl-cysteine to form peptidyl-S-farnesyl-L-cysteine; formation of S-farnesycysteine may be coupled with subsequent cleavage of a carboxy-terminal tripeptide for the CXXX motif and methyl esterification of the farnesylated cysteine; the residue may be found at the first position in the sequence motif C-X-X-(SAQCMT)* where the second and third positions are usually aliphatic.
