phosphorylation can stimulate or inhibit the function of the molecule is attached to only and is therefore an essential control mechanism for the cell

Phosphorylation is addition of phosphate molecule to alkyl (polar) group of an amino acid residue by the help of enzyme kinase.This helps in changing the activity of protein after they are formed.This can convert hydrophobic part into hydrophillic and into polar molecules.This induces conformational change in the structure of protein which changes the function of protein .Phosphorylation mediates the working and inhibition of many enzymes.It is important in protein degradation .Phosphorylation is an extremely vital process which helps in transportation, glycolysis and various types of metabolic activities that takes place in our body.
