title: Rat liver microsomal palmitoyl-coenzyme A synthetase. Structural properties.
abstract: The structural properties of purified palmitoyl-CoA synthetase from rat liver microsomal material were investigated. The active enzyme has a molecular weight of 168000 and contains about 8.2mol of phospholipid bound/mol of enzyme protein, as well as bound fatty acids. Association of the active enzyme was shown to occur, without impairment of catalytic activity. The lowest-molecular-weight species obtained under denaturing conditions was 27000 daltons.
