kinase


Term: kinase

Origin: Anc Greek
????/kino(=move)
+(-???)/-asy(=-ase) enzyme suffix added to the name of the substrate that the enzyme  hydrolyzes eg proteinase for protein or lipase for lipids

Coined:?

Definition:
Kinases are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of the high-energy  phosphate group, from a donor (usually ATP) to an a selected OH acceptor molecule such as serine, threonine or tyrosine residue in the proteins. The process is referred to as phosphorylation.




- Glycolysis Broken Down
Glycolysis can be a pretty daunting concept to really get a firm understanding on, with so many different molecule derivatives involved. So here, I will be explaining this process in a step-by-step manner that hopefully, will help alleviate any frustrations....
