In chemistry, phosphorylation of a molecule is the attachment of a phosphoryl group. Together with its counterpart, desphosphorlyation, it is critical for many cellular processes in biology. Phosphorylation is especially important for protein function, as this modification activates (or deactivates) almost half of the enzymes, thereby regulating their function.Many proteins (between 1/3 to 2/3 of the proteomes in eukaryotes) are phosphorylated temporarily, as are many sugar, lipids, and other molecules.

Protein phosphorylation is considered the most abundant post-translational modification in eukaryotes. Phosphorylation can occur on serine, threonine and tyrosine side chains (often called 'residues') through phosphoester bond formation, on histidine, lysine and arginine through phosphorylation bonds, and on aspartic acid and glutamic acid through mixed anhydride linkages. Recent evidence confirms widespread histidine phosphorylation at both the 1 and 3 N-atoms of the imidazole ring. Recent work from 2017 (preprinted at Biorxiv) suggests widespread human protein phosphorylation on multiple non-canonical amino acids, including motifs containing phosphorylated histidine, aspartate, glutamate, arginine and lysine in HeLa cell extracts. Due to the chemical lability of these phosphorylated residues, and in marked contrast to Ser, Thr and Tyr phosphorylation, the analysis of phosphorylated histidine using standard biochemical and mass spectrometric approaches is much more challenging and special procedures and separation techniques are required for their preservation alongside classical Ser, Thr and Tyr phosphorylation.

The prominent role of protein phosphorylation in biochemistry is illustrated by the huge body of studies published on the subject (as of March 2015, the Medline database returns over 240,000 articles, mostly on proteinphosphorylation).
