phosphylated
Phosphylated refers to a molecule that has undergone phosphorylation, a chemical process where a phosphate group is added. This addition typically occurs to an organic molecule, most commonly through the formation of a phosphoester bond. Phosphorylation is a fundamental and ubiquitous biochemical process found in all living organisms.
In biology, phosphorylation plays a crucial role in regulating a vast array of cellular processes. It acts
Phosphorylation also plays a vital role in energy metabolism. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency
