Nucleotide changes, particularly those at the third position of the codon, that do not alter the amino acid sequence are called synonymous substitutions.

Nucleotide changes in a gene that alter the amino acid sequence of a protein are referred to as non-synonymous substitutions.

Phosphorylation of PKA at threonine-197 leads to conformational change in the activation loop, that promotes binding of both ATP and its substrate proteins.

PKA can autophosphorylate itself on T197
