“…A thiosulfonate containing reagent, reported by Nishimura et al (1982), incorporated two CoA nucleotides and, due to steric considerations (i.e., a potential requirement for two nucleotide binding pockets), its general utility with many acyl-CoA utilizing enzymes might be expected to be limited. S-Methanesulfonyl-CoA, prepared by reaction of methanesulfonyl chloride with CoASH (Owens et al, 1981), proved effective as an inactivator of succinate thiokinase and β-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase. However, it was also reported to function as a simple group specific reagent, presumably due to the poor binding specificity afforded by the methyl group.…”
