The j3-hydroxybutyrohydrox- amic acid was identified by paper chro- matography {Rp in aqueous butanol, ). On incubation of the natural j8-hydroxy- butyryl-S-CoA with DPN+ and purified ^- ketoreductase at pH , the reduction of DPN+, followed at 340 m/x, is accompanied by the formation of acetoacetyl-S-CoA as shown by the increase in optical density at 303 mju,. As previously mentioned both j3-hydroxy- butyryl- and acetoacetyl-S-CoA have recently become available synthetically. The course of the j3-ketoreductase reaction with these two compounds*^^ is shown in Fig. 10. Lehninger AND Greville*^ have recent- ly reported the interesting observation that liver contains two different /D-ketoreduc- tases. One of them catalyzes the reversible oxidation of free /-hydroxybutyrate by DPN+, the other catalyzes the reversible oxidation. Fig. 10. Optical experiments with /S-keto reductase.
