The introduction of a phosphoryl group into a compound through the formation of an ester bond between the compound and a phosphorus moiety.
The addition of a phosphate (P).
The introduction of a phosphate group into a molecule. Formation of a phosphate derivative of a biomolecule, usually by enzymatic transfer of a phosphate group from ATP.
The addition of phosphate to an organic compound (such as glucose) to form glucose monophosphate.
Enzymatic conversion of carbohydrates into phosphoric esters in metabolic processes.
Chemical process of adding a phosphorous-containing molecule (phosphate) to a substance. Phosphorylation reactions are essential to the normal production of energy in the body by forming ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
The combining of a phosphate with an organic compound.
The process by which energy is transferred from an energy substrate to ADP through the transfer of a phosphate group is known as phosphorylation.
