Phosphorylation
Chemical process of introducing a phosphate / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In biochemistry, phosphorylation is the attachment of a phosphate group to a molecule or an ion.[1] This process and its inverse, dephosphorylation, are common in biology.[2] Protein phosphorylation often activates (or deactivates) many enzymes.[3][4]
