31. Phosphorylation is a chemical reaction involving a reactant and one element of the phosphate group called kinase. The reaction consists of transferring a phosphate group from an adhenyntriphosphate (ATP) to the reactant Dephosphorylation is the reverse process of phosphorylation and uses phosphatase as enzyme. A phosphorylated substrate is brought into the unphosphorylated state by means of the phosphatase enzyme [4].
