Abstract

The activity of acetyl CoA carboxylase in both crude and purified rat liver preparations was reduced in the presence of sodium or potassium chloride and increased in the presence of potassium acetate. The chloride inhibition was not competitive with bicarbonate. The use of Trischloride buffer did not alter the apparent pH optimum of the enzyme when compared with Tris-acetate buffer.

Summary

Introduction

Inhibition of ratliver acetyl CoA carboxylase by ch1oride.J. Lipid Res. 1980. This carboxylase activity preparation was assayed spectrophotometrically using the reaction mixture previously reported [21] modified by omitting the radioactive bicarbonate and in- Say buffers [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8] and in the study of properties [9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20] NADH, 20 units of pyruvate kinase, and 30 units of of acetyl CoA carboxylase [E.C.6.4.1.2.
