Phosphorylation is an example of regulation of enzyme activity by covalent modification. a.
Enzymes are phosphorylated on amino acids. Which amino acids can be phosphorylated? b. What
is required for an amino acid to become phosphorylated? Show an example chemical reaction. c.
What is required for an amino acid to become dephosphorylated? Show an example chemical
reaction. d. What controls whether a population of amino acid residues are phosphorylated or
dephosphorylated? e. In what way is this process of phosphorylation/dephosphorylation hormone
dependent?.
