| substrate-level phosphorylation | Synthesis of high-energy phosphate bonds through reaction of inorganic phosphate with an activated (usually) organic substrate. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|
| phosphorylation | <biochemistry> The creation of a phosphate derivative of an organic molecule. This isusually achieved by transferring a phosphate group from ATP. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| phosphorylation of proteins | <biochemistry> Addition of phosphate groups to hydroxyl groups on proteins (side chains s, T or Y) catalysed by a protein kinase often specific) with ATP as phosphate donor. Activity of proteins is often regulated by phosphorylation. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cyclic phosphorylation | Any process in which a phosphatide ester forms a cylic diester by linkage to a neighbouring hydroxyl group. (18 Nov 1997) |
| oxidative phosphorylation | <biochemistry> The phosphorylation of ATP coupled to the respiratory chain. (18 Nov 1997) |
| electron transport phosphorylation | <biochemistry> Synthesis of ATP involving a membrane associated electron transport chain and the creation of a proton-motive force. (09 Oct 1997) |
| tyrosine phosphorylation | <enzyme> Kinases that phosphorylate protein tyrosine residues. These kinases play major roles in mitogenic signalling and can be divided into two subfamilies: receptor tyrosine kinases, that have an extracellular ligand binding domain, a single transmembrane domain and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain and nonreceptor tyrosine kinases, which are soluble, cytoplasmic kinases.
