Describe the difference bettween a kinase and a phosphataseS

Describe the difference bettween a kinase and a phosphatase.

Kinase

Phosphatase

catalyze the phosphorylation reactions by the addition of phosphate groups from ATP to protein molecules.

catalyze the dephosphorylation reactions by removing of phosphate groups from substrates.

The phosphorylation reaction is unidirectional

The dephosphorylation reaction is bidirectional

Kinase uses ATP to obtain phosphate groups

Phosphatase use water molecules to remove phosphate groups

Proteins that are activated by a kinase

Proteins deactivated by a phosphatase.
