title: Purification of S-acyl fatty acid synthase thioester hydrolase by affinity chromatography with fatty acid synthase attached to Sepharose.
abstract: S-Acyl fatty acid synthase thioester hydrolase, the enzyme responsible for release of short-chain fatty acids from fatty acid synthase, was purified to homogeneity in 50-60% yield by a procedure involving affinity chromatography with fatty acid synthase as the affinity ligand attached to Sepharose. This procedure gave a 10- to 12-fold increase in yield over the previously available method.
