Biosynthesis of Fatty Acids

Chem*3560 Lecture 20: Fatty acid biosynthesis Fatty acid biosynthesis reverses the b-oxidation sequence b-Oxidation consists of a cycle of four reactions that include two dehydrogenase steps. Three steps are energetically favourable, and one complete cycle sums to ∆Go' = –12 kJ/mol, which makes the overall process proceed in the direction ... ................
