How are proteins regulated after translation? active proteins can be inactivated by post‑translational modification existing mRNA molecules can be degraded to produce fewer proteins proteins that are no longer required can be transported out of the cell inactive proteins can be activated by phosphorylation proteins can be tagged with small molecules and subsequently degraded

Answer:

inactive proteins can be activated by phosphorylation

Step-by-step explanation:

Proteins are regulated after translation by the non-covalent binding of small molecules. These molecules include amino acids or nucleotides. A change in the conformation and thus, the activity of the protein is usually achieved when this occurs.

Proteins could also be regulated by phosphorylation which is the addition of phosphate groups of specific amino acids on the protein.
