How is malonyl-CoA produced?
How is malonyl-CoA produced? Malonyl-CoA is formed by carboxylating acetyl-CoA using the enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase. One molecule of acetyl-CoA joins with a molecule of bicarbonate, requiring energy rendered from ATP. MCAT serves to transfer malonate from malonyl-CoA to the terminal thiol of holo-acyl carrier protein (ACP). What is the substrate for malonyl-CoA synthesis? Malonyl-CoA is […]
