I get it. thx

OpenStudy (rane):

your welcome

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

Phosphorylation is used as an on off switch for some proteins or to modulate their activity all depending on the protein. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_filament Is a good example, also you might want to look at Receptor tyrosine kinase, or G protein coupled receptor pathways if you want examples of pathways in the cell that involve phosphorylation

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

phosphorylation is pretty ubiquitous in the cell though.
