title: Kinetics of selective acylation of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate in the synthesis of phospholipid molecular species.
abstract: The kinetics of the sn-glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferase [EC 2.3.1.15] reaction support the view that the selective acylation primarily depends on the differences in the affinity of the enzyme for acyl-CoAs.
