Question

Give any four differences between biosynthesis of fatty acids and beta oxidation

Answer 1

fatty acid synthesis

*cytoplasm

*multi functional enzyme

*Acyl carrier- (protein-bound phosphopantetheine)

*oxidation and reduction cofactor-NADP

Allosteric control of acetyl CoA Corboxylase rate of synthesis of synthase

______________________________________________

beta oxidation

*Mitochondrian

*separate soluble enzymes

*Acyl carrier - CoA

*oxidation nd reduction cofactor-NAD FAD

*substrate availability and respiratory control
