Which statement is false about covalent modification?
It uses different enzymes for activation and inactivation Enzyme which adds phosphate is protein Kinase Enzyme which removes phosphate is protein Phosphatase. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON COVALENT MODIFICATION Covalent modification is a long term regulation (by hormones). It is slower than allosteric regulation. It is reversible. Covalent modification:- Phosphorylation & dephosphorylation (Most common) Adenylation, uridylation ADP ribosylation methylation acetylation Enzyme Regulation by Covalent Modification
It is reversible
It is slower than allosteric regulation
It uses the same enzyme for activation and inactivation
Phosphorylation is a common covalent modification
Enzyme regulation
