What a kinase enzyme does is that it recognizes this protein, and for example, the tyrosine that's on the protein.

激酶能够识别这类蛋白,例如,包含酪氨酸的蛋白

It generates a kinase activity which leads to phosphorylation of the protein.

它产生了一种激酶活性,导致了受体蛋白的磷酸化

There are 100 of these molecules, when a receptor gets activated a kinase activity gets activated, the kinase acts on the protein, the protein gets switched on, something new starts to happen inside the cell.

有一百个这样的分子,当受体被激活,激酶被激活后,激酶作用于蛋白,使蛋白活化,细胞中就会发生一些新变化

I did want to say a little bit more about kinases because they're so important in intracellular communication and kinases take advantage of the fact that proteins can often exist in more than one state, and that's what makes them useful molecules inside cells.

关于激酶我想再多讲一点,因为它们对细胞内通讯十分重要,因为激酶的优越之处在于,这种蛋白通常不只有一种状态,这也令它们在细胞中的用处极大
