Chapter 8.3, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction

To discuss:

The purpose of phosphorylation and whether phosphorylation of a protein is an exergonic or endergonic reaction.

Introduction

The reaction in which energy releases in the surrounding in any form indicates that it is an exergonic reaction. The reaction in which energy is utilized is known as endergonic reactions. For example, the hydrolysis of ATP into ADP is an example of exergonic reactions.

Regarding the sodium potassium pump, I am confused which enzymes are involved in the addition of the phosphate group onto the protein to change the conformation.  Is it only kinases or kinases AND ATPases?  I was under the impression that kinases add organic phosphates onto molecules, while ATPases cleave ATP into ADP and a phosphate group.  Would ATPase need to split the ATP molecule before the kinase can transfer the phosphate group onto the sodium potassium pump?
What are some of the interactions made between ATP and the kinase? Can you please describe bonds that the protein makes with (a) the phosphate groups, (b) the sugar, and (c) the adenine base? Please don't just copy answers from google.. I already read most of em.. :(
The phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of proteins is a vital means of regulation. Protein kinases attach phosphoryl groups, whereas only a phosphatase will remove the phosphoryl group from the target protein. What is the energy cost of this means of covalent regulation?
