Unit 1: Proteomics & Protein Structure 4 Flashcards
Reversible Binding of Phosphate and Control of Conformation
Kinase is responsible for the
phosphorylation of proteins through ATP
A phosphate group is highly charged resulting in the protein changing
conformation
A phosphate group is highly _____ resulting in a conformational change
Charged
DNA is ______ charged
Negatively
What is gluconeogenesis?
Making glucose
Extracellular hydrophillic signalling molecules are involved in the activation of
extracellular receptor proteins
Extracellular receptor proteins interact with the intracellular proteins through a series of
kinases and phosphatases
In simple terms, a kinase _____ a phosphate
adds
In simple terms, phosphatase _____ a phosphate
removes
ATP is regenerated in respiration via
oxidative phosphorylation
