Abstract
The preceding chapter showed that the regulation of enzymatic activity can be carried out through a variety of mechanisms. Regulation involving covalent processes is even more diverse. These processes include various co- and post-translational events such as limited proteolysis and various chemical modifications (glycosylation, carboxylation, ADP-ribosylation etc.). They also involve mechanisms of enzyme phosphorylation-dephosphorylation, catalysed by specific enzymes, as a function of the cell’s metabolic needs or in response to signals.
