SYNTHESIS OF CONJUGATED OCTADECATRIENOIC ACID USING ENZYMES FROM TUNG

摘要

Conjugated trienoic fatty acid was formed in a mixture containing CoASH, NADH, either ADP or ATP, MgSO4, castor fatty acid, and enzyme prepared from tung nuts. The enzyme was prepared as a protein, which is soluble in 0.1 M tris- HCl buffer (pH 7.2), from acetone-insoluble powder of maturing tung nuts.
