The in vitro determination of activity was optimized, and the maximum value for GPAT activity identified between 15 and 20 days after flowering. The apparent MichaeliseMenten Km for the glycerol 3-phosphate was 354 mM. The preferred substrates were palmitoyl-CoA ¼ linoleoyl-CoA > oleoyl-CoA with the lowest activity using stearoyl-CoA. High solubilisation was achieved using 0.75 UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/19Yjctt8_Fgxy4-dPwM-cxQx2AG8xASuw/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
