Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain kinases and their mechanism and families, describe their roles in signalling and metabolism, describe kinase inhibitors as drugs in general terms, and support learning and research questions.

An enzyme that catalyses the transfer of a phosphate group from a high energy donor such as ATP to a substrate, including protein kinases that phosphorylate serine, threonine, tyrosine or histidine residues and regulate signalling, lipid kinases, and small molecule kinases such as riboflavin kinase; kinases are central to cell signalling, metabolism and the cell cycle, and many are drug targets in cancer and other diseases.

What it is for: Phosphate-transferring enzymes.

It can be explain mechanism and families; describe roles; describe inhibitors generally; support learning.

Distinguishing features

What it looks like

Not physical; proteins shown as structures.

How it is recognised

Transfers phosphate from ATP

Protein, lipid, small molecule kinases

Phosphatases remove phosphates; phosphorylases use inorganic phosphate
