Phosphorylation | Definition, Function & Mechanism

✨Biology Memes! on Instagram: "Read caption👇👇👇 Protein kinases are enzymes that phosphorylate other proteins, meaning they add phosphate groups to them. This process acts like a molecular switch, changing the protein’s function active or inactive. Additionally, this phosphorylation can release energy, as observed in the conversion of ATP to ADP. In some cancers, mutations in kinases can lead to abnormal phosphorylation, either through auto (self) phosphorylation and activation or excessive ph
