Question
Chapter 31, Problem 18P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A term phosphodegron and the role of phosphorylation reaction in the protein generation needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction :
The process by which a phosphate group is introduced in an organic molecule is known as phosphorylation. The cellular processes such as cell growth, cell cycle and signal transduction pathways are regulated by phosphorylation.

A protein that transports amino acids across the cell membrane was found to bind only a few amino acids efficiently. To find the specificity, many different amino acids and substrate analogs were used as competitive inhibitors in transport studies at pH 5.9 with L-histidine (Km = 10 μM). The Ki values calculated from Lineweaver-Burk plots are shown in the table below.
