The covalent or non-covalent attachment of a palmitoyl moiety to a protein. The addition of an acyl group, any group or radical of the form RCO- where R is an organic group, to a protein amino acid. The covalent or non-covalent attachment of lipid moieties to an amino acid in a protein. The covalent or non-covalent attachment of a palmitoyl moiety to a protein amino acid. The covalent alteration of one or more amino acids occurring in proteins, peptides and nascent polypeptides (co-translational, post-translational modifications). Includes the modification of charged tRNAs that are destined to occur in a protein (pre-translation modification). The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of any conjugated, water-soluble protein in which the nonprotein moiety consists of a lipid or lipids.
