Biochemical Sulfuryl Group Transfer From 3'-Phosphoadenosine 5'-Phosphosulfate (PAPS) Versus Phosphoryl Transfer From ATP: What Can Be Learnt?

Phosphotransferases (kinases) use ATP as the universal phosphoryl donor whereas sulfotransferases use PAPS as the universal sulfuryl donor. Once phosphoryl group is transferred to a recipient molecule, it receives total of two negative charges changing its physicochemical properties. Similarly, upon sulfuryl transfer the recipient molecule receives... Read More»
