Transphosphorylation is a
chemical reaction in which a
phosphate group or a
phosphono group is transferred between a
substrate and a
receptor.[1] There are various phosphate
esters in living body including
nucleic acid, and phosphorylation reaction related to their synthesis and interconversion is the basis of biochemical reaction.[2][3] In most cases,
ATP is the substrate of the phosphate group as a substrate and the
enzyme that catalyzes these reactions is referred to as
kinase.[4]
