1. Two non-hydrolysable analogues of myristoyl-coenzyme A were synthesised and spectroscopically characterized. Myristoyl-carba(dethia)coenzyme A was prepared in a multistep synthesis starting from tridecyl vinyl ketone. S-(3-Oxohexadecyl)-coenzyme A was synthesised from 3-oxohexadecyl chloride by direct condensation with coenzyme A. 2. Both analogues were strong competitive inhibitors of N-myristoyltransferase from yeast. Ki values of 0.3 and 0.25 microM were determined for myristoyl-carba(dethia)-coenzyme A and S-(3-oxohexadecyl)-coenzyme A, respectively.

D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.
