title: Specificity of glycerol kinase.
abstract: The activity of a number of alcohols was examined as substrates or inhibitors of glycerol kinase (ATP-glycerol phosphotransferase; EC 2.7.1.30) from Candida mycoderma. On the basis of these and other results, a modified model is proposed to account for the substrate specificity of the enzyme.
