kinasiatoiminnan
Kinasiatoiminnan refers to the enzymatic activity of kinases. Kinases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a phosphate group from a high-energy molecule, typically ATP, to a specific substrate molecule. This process is known as phosphorylation. Phosphorylation is a crucial post-translational modification that plays a central role in a vast array of cellular processes.
The substrates of kinases can be proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, or small molecules. When a kinase phosphorylates
The specific activity of a kinase is determined by its substrate specificity, which is dictated by the
