Phosphorylation

Definition

In biochemistry, phosphorylation is described as the "transfer of a phosphate group" from a donor to an acceptor or the addition of a phosphate group to a molecule. A common phosphorylating agent is ATP and a common family of acceptor are alcohols:[Adenosyl−O−PO2−O−PO2−O−PO3]4− + ROH → Adenosyl−O−PO2−O−PO3H]2− + [RO−P−O3]2−
