Excellent video, thank you! I have a doubt: in some writings about post-translational modifications I have seen that they make reference to "writers", which in this context would be kinases, to "erasers", which would be phosphatases (if I understand correctly) and to "readers", so ,in phosphorylation, which would be the "readers"?
Sir, please inform me where I can find this particular video in it’s respective playlist. I need to continue watching the lectures from this video on and I cannot find the video in your array of playlists posted to your channel. Please advise, thank you so much
Reason number two says that the negatively charged phosphate group that was just added can form hydrogen bonds with other residues...but if phosphorylation occurs on serine, threonine, and tyrosine, they already have OH groups which can hydrogen bond. So it doesn't gain the ability to hydrogen bond...the hydroxyl side chains already had the ability to hydrogen bond. Does it make it "better" at hydrogen bonding because there's 3 oxygens each with a partial negative charge giving you more places for H bonding?
Shouldn't it be this "typically involves the addition of some sort of functional group onto the molecule by another enzyme"? Im referring to the first bullet point... just making sure! =)
