Phosphorylation is a biochemical reaction where a phosphate group (PO4) is covelently bonded to another organic molecule. An example of phosphorylation is the addition of a phosphate to Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) to form the molecule Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).[1] Oxidative phosphorylation is the chemical pathway in which ATP is synthesised in mitochondria and bacteria, driven by the transfer of electrons across an electron transfer chain.
