fosforülatsioonile
Fosforülatsioonile is a term referring to the process of adding a phosphate group to a molecule. This chemical reaction is fundamental to many biological processes, including energy transfer and cellular signaling. In the context of cellular metabolism, the most prominent example is the addition of a phosphate group to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to form adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency of cells. This process, known as oxidative phosphorylation or photophosphorylation depending on the energy source, is crucial for sustaining life.
Enzymes play a vital role in catalyzing phosphorylation reactions. Kinases are a large family of enzymes that
Dephosphorylation, the removal of a phosphate group, is also an essential counterpart to phosphorylation, ensuring that
