The free fatty acid, therefore, is attached to coenzyme-A by means of a thioester bond, catalyzed by means of the enzyme fatty acetyl-CoA synthetase.
Keywords: Sesquiterpene lactone; Anthecotulide; Anthemis auriculata; Plasmodium; Mycobacterium tuberculosis; Escherichia coli; Fatty acid biosynthesis; FabI Introduction Fatty acid (FA) biosynthesis is a metabolic pathway by which acetyl-CoA is converted into short to long chain FAs.
In aerobic respiration, acetyl-CoA is then channeled into the Krebs/citric acid cycle to create the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH).
