(a)
To determine: The [2-H2] acetyl-CoA and an excess of unlabeled malonyl-CoA are added as substrate, the number of deuterium atoms which are incorporated into every molecule of palmitate, and their location.
Introduction:
Fatty acid synthesis is the common pathway which uses acetyl-CoA as substrate for fatty acid synthesis. It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. Fatty acid synthases help in fatty acids synthesis from acetyl-CoA and NADPH.
(b)
To determine:
The unlabeled acetyl-CoA and [2-2H] acetyl-CoA are added as substrates, the number of deuterium atoms are incorporated into every molecule of palmitate and their location is to be explained.
Introduction:
Fatty acid synthesis is the common pathway which use
