Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

Kinases are a large family of enzymes that catalyze the transfer of phosphate groups from high-energy phosphate donors (such as ATP) to specific acceptor molecules. This process is known as phosphorylation. Phosphorylation is a key post-translational modification that regulates the activity, localization, and stability of proteins.
