title: Proline synthesis from glutamate in the mitochondria isolated from a blowfly, Aldrichina grahami.
abstract: Proline biosynthesis from glutamate was demonstrated in a cell free system prepared from blowfly abdomen. The biosynthetic activity was found mainly in the mitochondrial fraction. The biosynthesis of proline from glutamate required ATP, NADPH and Mg++ as cofactors.
