Mammalian glycinamide ribonucleotide transformylase: purification and some properties.

abstract：:The transformation of DMPC vesicles containing myristic acid to larger structures was examined by nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. The process was found to be characterized by a rate which is approximately first order in vesicle concentration. Rates, however, show a dramatic increase with increasing myristic aci...
