phosphorolysis

Together with Władysław Baranowski, he discovered the process of phosphorolysis.

Another example of phosphorolysis is seen in the conversion of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate in glycolysis.

The mechanism involves phosphorolysis.

A phosphate group breaks the bond between C 1 of a glucose ring and the O that connects it to the next(phosphorolysis).

Adenylyl transferase catalyzes the adenylylation and phosphorolysis reactions.

In the reverse phosphorolysis reaction the enzyme is specific for L-rhamnose as acceptor and beta-D-glucose 1-phosphate as donor.

Glycogen branches are catabolized by the sequential removal of glucose monomers via phosphorolysis, by the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase.

Kinases are not to be confused with phosphorylases, which carry out phosphorolysis, the breaking of a bond using an inorganic phosphate group; or with phosphatases, which remove phosphate groups.

As seen with other DNA repair enzymes [ 19 ] , specificity determining residues, as yet unidentified for APEs, must be distinct from those involved in phosphorolysis.

In addition, sometimes phosphorolysis is preferable to hydrolysis (like in the breakdown of glycogen or starch, as in the example above) because glucose 1-phosphate yields more ATP than does free glucose when subsequently catabolized to pyruvate.

Overall, the pattern of protein contacts to the cleavage site, the area 5' of the cleavage site, and the 3' end of the opposite strand are common to both proteins, suggesting that the functions of forming the substrate complex and the actual phosphorolysis are similar in both proteins.
