title: The binding and hydrolysis of sphingomyelin by phospholipase C (Bacillus cereus) as shown by 31P NMR.
abstract: 31P nuclear magnetic resonance studies showed that heavily inactivated phospholipase C (Bacillus cereus) initially caused line broadening in the 31P resonance from sphingomyelin thus indicating enzyme-lipid association. Using larger amounts of enzyme or longer preincubation caused a displacement of the 31P resonance to a position suggesting phosphorylcholine formation. Incubation of the heavily inactivated enzyme with a phosphonolipid caused a displacement of the 31P resonance suggesting hydrolysis.
