Question
Chapter 18, Problem 21PDQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The ways by which the covalent modification of a protein with a phosphate group alter the protein functions.
Introduction: Many proteins are modified by the covalent linking of groups which can affect their function of localization in the cell. These covalent modifications occur after synthesis and folding of the polypeptide chain.

Students have asked these similar questions
what is post-translational protein covalent modification? give three examples and name the enzyme that catalyzes each reaction.
Identify the following by describing their functions: EF-G, EF-Tu, EF-Ts, EF-P, and peptidyl transferase
How the mutations change chemical nature of R group of amino acids? (like polar nonpolar/ charged uncharged) And predict if those changes affect the protein function strongly? Or only weak effects?
a)Glutamate to lysine
b)asparagine to tyrosine
c) aspartate to glutamate
