Which process is post-translational regulation?
A.Phosphorylating an enzyme to change its activity
B.Binding a repressor to the operator
C.Splicing out an intron
D.Methylating a promoter
Explanation
Core Concept
After translation, kinases can switch proteins on/off, or proteasomes can destroy them — control at the finished-protein stage.
Correct Answer
APhosphorylating an enzyme to change its activity
