Preparation
The phosphatidylethanolamine from different
sources is purified by high-pressure column chromatography
using a variety of solid supports.
**Transphosphatidylation:
enzymatic exchange of primary alcohols on phospholipid
headgroups (e.g., phospholipase D exchanges ethanolamine
for choline during the enzymatic conversion of PC
to PE).
