title: Carnitine acetyltransferase: candidate for the transfer of acetyl groups through the mitochondrial membrane of yeast.
abstract: On the basis of its specific activity and its affinity for acetyl-coenzyme A, carnitine acetyltransferase appears to be the most likely candidate for acetyl group transfer out of yeast mitochondria.
