G-protein modification

[R. Woodward]

Dear All

I have a question concerning the lipid modification of G-protein 
gamma subunits. I have sme references where the gamma subunit was
isoprenylated in an invitro expression system by the addition 
of radiolabelled mevalonolactone I want to be able to use a 'cold'
form but the only reagent I can see is mevalonic acid lactone
is this the same stuff?

Thanks in advance

Robert
