Improved assay of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase

Two improvements are described for the assay of HMG CoA reductase. These are a simple synthesis of the substrate precursor HMG-3-14C anhydride and a double-label (14C and 3H) method for determining the amount of mevalonate-3-14C that is formed from the substrate.
