Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results suggest that acyl transferases may be important in the lung to insure that sufficient amounts of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine will always be present for use in pulmonary surfactant biosynthesis.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Fractions convert, 14 C-ammonium palmitate to trams -2-hexadecenoic acid indicating that, in yeast, the biosynthetic pathways of saturated and unsaturated sphingolipids diverge at the fatty acyl CoA level.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A highly stable potato tuber preparation containing the fatty acid synthetase enzymes has been obtained and the conditions for the de novo synthesis of fatty acids have been examined, finding the system formed C 8 to C 16 saturated fatty acids under standard conditions.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The objectives of this investigation were to determine the reaction sequences which are involved in the further metabolism of CoA and of some related nucleotides and to characterize a variety of phosphoester hydrolases and a labile thioesterase preparations.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The acylation of lysophosphatidylcholine by enzyme preparations from spinach leaves was studied and the pattern of incorporation agrees with the fatty acid distribution in vivo.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis of glycero-3-P is more rapid with an unsaturated acyl carrier protein (ACP) than with a saturated acyl-ACP.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The synthesis of cholesteryl oleate by acyl coenzyme A: cholesterol-O-acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1) from rat liver mitochondria and microsomes in the presence of long chain branched fatty acids was investigated and these acids neither inhibit the formation of ch LDL, nor do they serve as substrate for the enzyme.
