words, words

For other science geeks out there:

Is "non-phosphorylatable" really a word? As in a serine to alanine mutation renders the amino acid unable to act as a kinase substrate.

I would totally use it as a word. I'm sure any spell-checker would yell at me for it, but it's in my personal dictionary, anyhow ... along with a gazillion other things that spell-checkers don't recognize. :)

It just looks funny to me. The "atable" part of it seems wrong somehow. I've been trying to figure out how to restructure a sentence so another word can be substituted.
