Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdk) add a phosphate group to the target protein, a process known as phosphorylation. This phosphorylation can lead to a conformational change in the target protein, altering its activity or interaction with other proteins in the cell cycle.
