Summary of key points:

Fatty Acid Synthase . progressively adds 2 carbon units from malonyl CoA to a growing acyl chain to form the 16-carbon palmitic acid in process that requires 2NADPH for each addition. 4. Discuss the general mechanism of the fatty acid synthase reaction. Fatty Acid synthase. 2 components of the fatty acid complex are the . condensing enzyme (CE) and ................
