reversible binding of phosphate Flashcards
1
Q
what is the enzyme kinase responsible for?
A
phosphorylation, uses phosphate from atp
2
Q
what is the enzyme phosphatase responsible for?
A
removes phosphates from molecules
3
Q
what is the enzyme ATPases responsible for?
A
ATP into adp+pi to release energy for a reaction
4
Q
what can the addition or removal of phosphate cause?
A
reversible conformational change in proteins
5
Q
what is a reversible conformational change common form of?
A
post translational modification
6
Q
where is the terminal phosphate of ATP transferred?
A
specific R groups
7
Q
how are some proteins activated or inhibited by?
A
phosphorylation
