Some kinases can affect the activity of an enzyme by the addition of phosphate groups, which can then be removed, much like an "on/off" switch.These modifications are an example of

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reversible phosphorylation refers to the addition and removal of phosphate groups to enzymes, which can activate or deactivate them. This is the specific mechanism described in the question. Feedback inhibition refers to the regulation of a reaction by its own products. Phosphatase activity refers to enzymes that specifically remove phosphate groups. Noncovalent regulation refers to regulation by noncovalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding or hydrophobic interactions. Allosteric regulation refers to the regulation of an enzyme by binding at a site other than the active site.
