Abstract:Enolization of acetyl‐CoA on CS had been identified in Eggerer¡s experiments with [3H]acetyl‐CoA (Biochem. Z. 343: 111, 1965). To test whether CS catalyzes sequential cycles of acetyl‐CoA enolization, we incubated [2H3, 13C2]acetyl‐CoA with pig heart CS + oxaloacetate (OAA) (added as either a bolus, a bolus of OAA/malate, or malate + NAD + malate dehydrogenase). We measured the mass isotopomer distribution (MID) of acetyl‐CoA and citrate. The productions of M4 + M3 + M2 acetyl‐CoA, and of M4 + M3 + M2 citrate … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
