Kinase - Kinase is the group of enzymes, which adds a free pyrophosphate (PO 4) to a wide variety of substrates like proteins, DNA and RNA.

It uses ATP as cofactor and adds a phosphate by breaking the ATP into ADP and pyrophosphate. It is widely used in molecular biology and genetic engineering to add radiolabelled phosphates.
