[bionet.molbio.proteins] phosphate transfer

CABELL.ANDREWS@BIONET-20.BIO.NET (Paul Andrews) (11/16/88)

      I am interested in the enzymatic addition of either a phosphate or 
sulphate group to a hydroxyl group in a number of related compounds.  I am 
aware of the kinases that will transfer a phosphate to a carbohydrate type 
of hydroxyl group but I am looking for one that will transfer a phosphate to 
a "benzylic" hydroxyl group.  In addition, this transfer should be specific 
because the compounds I will be looking at will have a number of hydroxyls on 
an alkyl side chain, which I do NOT want phosphorylated.  Any help for a 
struggling analytical chemist would be greatly appreciated!!!!
