Question

what propery of the cyclic phosphate makes it very useful as a signaling molecule?

Answer 1

The property of the cyclic phosphate is to cross their cell membranes, which makes it very useful as a signaling molecule. Information in many single-celled and all multicellular organisms is transmitted in the form of molecules. Cyclic phosphates such as cAMP (Cyclic adenosine monophosphate) can act as second messenger. Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation provide mechanism for cell signalling. ADP/ATP or GDP/GTP for inactivated and activated. Earl Wilbur Sutherland Jr. was won a Nobel Prize for this discovery. Signal transduction is the mechanism that a cell uses to convert an extracellular signal to changes in intracellular processes. It is thus a method for moving information across membranes.
