Studies on the catalytic site of rat liver HMG-CoA reductase: interaction with CoA-thioesters and inactivation by iodoacetamide.

The localization of reactive cysteines and characterization of the HMG-CoA binding domain of rat liver HMG-CoA reductase were studied using iodoacetamide (IAAD) and short-chain acyl-CoA thioesters. Freeze-thaw-solubilized HMG-CoA reductase is irreversibly inactivated by IAAD with a second order rate...
