Abstract

The incubation of terminally modified squalene 2,3-oxide analogs with the enzyme preparation of hog liver yielded the corresponding lanosterol analogs, respectively, at different conversion rates. The interaction of 2,3-oxidosqualene cyclase with the substrates has thus been found to be influenced by the bulk of the terminal moiety.
