The Multienzyme Systems of Fatty Acid Biosynthesis

  • Conference paper
Protein-Protein Interactions

Abstract

The synthesis of long-chain fatty acids from acetyl-CoA is catalyzed by two enzyme systems. Both systems are multienzyme assemblies; the acetyl-CoA carboxylase with just two partial enzyme activities is one of the simplest, and the fatty acid synthetase with at least seven partial enzyme activities is one of the more complex multienzyme systems.
