dualspecificitytyyppejä
Dual specificity is a term used in biology to describe enzymes that can modify both tyrosine and serine/threonine residues within proteins. These enzymes, often referred to as dual-specificity kinases, play critical roles in cellular signaling pathways. Unlike kinases that exclusively phosphorylate tyrosine or serine/threonine, dual-specificity kinases possess the ability to catalyze the addition of a phosphate group to any of these three amino acid types. This broader substrate range allows them to integrate signals from different pathways and fine-tune cellular responses.
The dual-specificity nature of these enzymes is attributed to their unique active site architecture. The precise
