Best Answer

a protein kinase is a protein that activates another protein. typically through phosphorylation.

they often consists of two domains, one that phosphorylates, and one that regulates the phosphotransferase activity.

Soluble, globule and alterable [in terms of their function] proteins control a literally unimaginable volume of Cellular Activities.

Discrete! Means either yes or no. So many types of protein kinases exist and each one each has a specific [turn on] or [ turn off] function.

One could describe protein kinase in many ways. Protein kinase is an enzyme that modifies other proteins by chemically adding pH groups to them. This is how one might describe protein kinase.

What does a protein phosphatase actually do to end a signal transduction?

Protein phosphates turn off signal transduction pathways by removing the phosphate groups from the protein kinase, making them reusable and making the kinase inscribe stopping the signal transduction pathway.
