Abstract:
The goal of our work was a role of phosphorylase (EC. 2.4.1.1) in starch accumulation in plastids of storage parenchyma cells in potato minitubers forming under clinorotation. An increased enzyme activity under the influence of simulated microgravity has been revealed by using the biochemical and electron cytochemical methods. The obtained results suggest the correlation between an increase in phosphorylase activity and acceleration growth rate and senescence of plant storage organs in microgravity.

Phosphorylation
During phosphorylation, protein kinases transfer the terminal phosphate group of ATP to specific amino acid side chains of substrate proteins. Serine, threonine, and tyrosine are the most commonly...
What is Glycolysis?
Cells make energy by breaking down macromolecules. Cellular respiration is the biochemical process that converts "food energy" (from the chemical bonds of macromolecules) into chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The first step of this tightly regulated and intricate process is glycolysis. The word glycolysis originates from the Latin glyco (sugar) and lysis (breakdown). Glycolysis serves two main intracellular functions: generating ATP and generating...
