Abstract
Chicken liver fatty acid synthetase is irreversibly inactivated by malonyl CoA and by acetyl and malonyl CoA. Two active forms of the enzyme existing above and below 11.5° are inactivated at different rates. Activities for fatty acid and triacetic acid lactone synthesis are lost at about the same rate and NADP + protects the enzyme against inactivation. Inactivation results from the enhanced covalent binding of malonyl groups in addition to those required for fatty acid synthesis.
