Other methods such as Phosphorylation, Acetylation are covalent methods of regulation of enzyme activity. They do not affect the quantity of enzyme. Most common method of enzyme activity regulation is Phosphorylation, for e.g. catabolic enzymes are active in Phosphorylated state. Enzymes are not regulated by glycosylation
