Recently a new intermediate in the biosynthesis of squalene has been obtained from farnesyl pyrophosphate as substrate in a yeast homogenate containing minimal amounts of reduced nicotinamide adenine di-'nucleotide (NADP-H) (1). On the basis of a number of experimental results, structure I was sugge
ALTHOUGH farnesyl pyrophosphate (I) has been shown to produce squalene when incubated with yeast cell particles and reduced triphosphopyridine nucleotide, ' the detailed mechanism of this change is still unknown. The two hypotheses previously advanced 192 are incompatible with the new data2 obtained
