Abstract
The interconversion of isobutyrate and n-butyrate in Streptomyces cinnamonensis, which occurs by an intramolecular carbon skeleton rearrangement, is shown by isotopic labelling experiments also to involve the 1,2-shift of a hydrogen from the pro-(S) methyl of isobutyryl-CoA to the 3-pro-(S) position in n-butyryl-CoA.Keywords
