What type of phosphorylation does not require a membrane?

Cytoplasmic or soluble enzymes can carry out phosphorylation that does not require a membrane. This type of phosphorylation occurs in the cytoplasm or within organelles like the mitochondria and does not involve a membrane-bound protein complex.


What is the attachment of a phosphate group to a molecule called?

The attachment of a phosphate group to a molecule is called phosphorylation. This process often occurs in cellular signaling pathways and can change the activity or function of the molecule being modified.


Will phosphorylation denature a protein?

Phosphorylation typically does not denature a protein. Phosphorylation is a reversible modification where a phosphate group is added to a protein, often regulating its function, structure, or localization within the cell. However, extreme or incorrect phosphorylation can lead to protein misfolding and dysfunction.

What are two methods of phosphorylation?

Two methods of phosphorylation are: Enzyme-catalyzed phosphorylation, where enzymes like kinases transfer phosphate groups from ATP to specific proteins. Photo-phosphorylation, which occurs during photosynthesis where light energy is used to convert ADP and inorganic phosphate into ATP.
