The order of reactions in fatty acid biosynthesis is Questio

The order of reactions in fatty acid biosynthesis is Question 11 options: A. malonyl transferase, beta-ketoacyl synthase, beta-ketoacyl-ACP reductase, enoyl-ACP reductase, enoyl-ACP hydratase. B. enoyl-ACP hydratase, beta-ketoacyl synthase, beta-ketoacyl reductase, enoyl-ACP hydratase, enoyl-ACP reductase. C. malonyl transferase, beta-ketoacyl reductase, beta-ketoacyl synthase, enoyl-ACP hydratase, enoyl-ACP reductase. D. malonyl transferase, beta-ketoacyl synthase, beta-ketoacyl reductase, enoyl-ACP hydratase, enoyl-ACP reductase. E. malonyl transferase, enoyl-ACP reductase, beta-ketoacyl synthase, enoyl-ACP hydratase, beta-ketoacyl reductase.

Solution

The order of reactions in fatty acid biosynthesis is :

D. malonyl transferase, beta-ketoacyl synthase, beta-ketoacyl reductase, *enoyl-ACP hydratase, enoyl-ACP reductase

(*The fourth enzyme should be enoyl-ACP dehydratase)
