[Effectiveness of acylation of protein amino groups with fatty acid chlorides in a system of reversed micelles of aerosol OT in octane].

The characteristics of water-soluble enzyme (alpha-chymotrypsin) modification with [3H] palmitoyl chloride in the reversed Aerosol OT micelles in octane were determined. The degree of enzyme modification depends on the molar ratio [palmitoyl chloride]/[protein]. The modification reaction is characterized by the wide pH-optimum range and proceeds with high speed.
