Q. 38
Question
What steps are necessary for Cdk to become fully active?
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
It must bind to cyclin, and be phosphorylated in correct place.
1Step 1. What is Cdk?
Cdk stands for cyclin dependent kinases. They are family of enzymes which can alter protein substances which are concerned with cell cycle.
2Step 2. Steps necessary for Cdk to become fully active.
Cdk sticks to cyclin, and it should be phosphorylated in correct place so as to operate the complex. These are the enzymes that in turn phosphorylate the proteins further.
