The carbon chain of fatty acids is shortened
by 2 carbon atoms at a time. This involves
successive reactions catalysed by 4-enzymes.
These act the following order:
(A) Acetyl CoA dehydrogenase, β-OH acyl CoA
dehydrogenase, enoyl hydrase, thiolose
(B) Acyl CoA dehydrogenase, thiolase, enoyl
hydrase, β-OH acyl CoA dehydrogenase
(C) Acyl CoA dehydrogenase, thiolose, enoyl
hydrase, β-OH acyl CoA dehydrogenase
(D) Enoyl hydrase, β-OH acyl CoA dehydrogenase,
acyl CoA dehydrogenase, thiolose,
Place an order in 3 easy steps. Takes less than 5 mins.
