(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The process which occurs during the covalent modification of an enzyme using phosphorylation reaction has to be stated.

Concept introduction: The process of covalently modifying the structure of enzyme by linking or removing a group from the amino acid within the structure of enzyme is called covalent modification.  This process alters the activity of the enzyme.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The process which occurs during the covalent modification of an enzyme using a phosphatase enzyme has to be stated.

Concept introduction: The process of covalently modifying the structure of enzyme by linking or removing a group from the amino acid within the structure of enzyme is called covalent modification.  This process alters the activity of the enzyme.
