Document Summary

Signals are transmitted from the receptor to a response in a cell by a series of biochemical reactions, usually involving protein kinases. Kinases are enzymes that transfer a phosphate group from atp to one or more sites on particular target proteins. The added phosphate groups stimulate activities of the target proteins. Often, target proteins in signal transduction cascades are other kinases. Responses can be reversed from removing phosphate groups from target proteins. They are continuously active, but when there is a signal present, then there are more kinases compared to phosphatases. For every kinase, there is a phosphatase. Kinase uses the phosphate group from atp. Amplification allows for many kinases to be activated when there are only a few amount of signal molecules. Phosphate group is added to the molecule, (here serine). Phosphorylation frequently changes a protein"s conformation and surface charge. 3- ) affect electrostatic attraction and repulsion within a protein, changing its shape.
