phosphorylation
phosphorylation Phosphorylation is a common chemical change made to proteins after they are produced, in which kinases add phosphate groups and phosphatases remove them.
Phosphorylation is a common chemical change made to proteins after they are produced, in which kinases add phosphate groups and phosphatases remove them. This process helps control how proteins function, where they are located, how stable they are, and how they interact, so it is important in many cell activities and can contribute to disease when disrupted.
