Abstract

A rapid and convenient spectrophotometric assay for fatty acid synthetase is presented. It is based on the NADPH-dependent reduction of compounds such as cis-decalin-1,4-dione by the β-ketoacyl-ACP reductase component of the fatty acid synthetase complex. The assay has applications where rapid, semiquantitative data are desired.
