Indigenous Phosphatases in Milk

  • Chapter
Advanced Dairy Chemistry—1 Proteins

Abstract

Phosphorus is a key component of many biochemical structures. Although phosphorus can exist in stable oxidation states ranging from −3 to + 5, the stable oxidation state of phosphorus in biological molecules is + 5 and consequently it acts as an electrophile. The phosphate group, PO4, consisting of four electronegative oxygens attached to a central phosphorus atom with tetrahedral geometry, is the predominant form of phosphorus in biological systems.
