L'exemple le plus ancien et le plus célèbre des régulations par phosphorylation de protéines est celui de la glycogène phosphorylase, déjà rencontrée comme protéine allostérique. Nous savons qu'un 2e mécanisme règle l'activité de la protéine puisqu'elle peut passer par phosphorylation d'une forme b peu active à une forme a très active. Une seule phosphorylation sur chaque sous-unité du dimère suffit [...] 1, record 6, French, - phosphorylation%20de%20prot%C3%A9ines
