Abstract
Ethyl esters of fatty acids have been identified as the product formed when rat liver microsomes were incubated in the presence of ethanol, radioactive fatty acids, CoA, ATP, and Mg 2+ . Ag + thin-layer chromatography and preparative gas-liquid chromatography were used to identify the product. The biosynthesis of ethyl esters was optimal at a pH near 8. Other primary short-chain alcohols were also esterified and the K m for the alcohol decreased with increasing chain length from methanol to hexanol.
