Tafazzin-Catalyzed Phospholipid-Lysophospholipid Transacylations: Self-Organization in a System of 105 Chemical ReactionsTuesday, 16 October 2012 at 14:45 Add to Calendar ▼2012-10-16 14:45:002012-10-16 15:45:00Europe/LondonTafazzin-Catalyzed Phospholipid-Lysophospholipid Transacylations: Self-Organization in a System of 105 Chemical ReactionsSELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.com Tafazzin is a mitochondrial enzyme that transfers fatty acids non-specifically from phospholipids to lysophospholipids. Here we present a mathematical approach to this unique enzymatic mechanism and show experimentally how tafazzin can produce highly specific molecular patterns in cardiolipin. |
