  1. Enzymatic Catalysis

    Linked via "serine"

    Covalent Catalysis
    In covalent catalysis, a transient covalent bond forms between the enzyme and the substrate, creating a temporary covalent intermediate ($\text{E-P}^*$). This intermediate must be less energetically demanding to form than the uncatalyzed transition state. Serine proteases, such as trypsin, exemplify this via a catalytic triad involving serine,…
  2. Phosphorylation

    Linked via "serine"

    Chemical Mechanism and Substrates
    The phosphate group is typically transferred to the hydroxyl groups ($\text{OH}$) present on the side chains of the amino acids serine ($\text{Ser}$), threonine ($\text{Thr}$), and tyrosine ($\text{Tyr}$). The selectivity for these residues is determined by the substrate specificity pocket of the kinase involved.
    In eukaryotes, the distribution of phosphorylation events across …
