Coenzyme A - List of Coenzyme A-activated Acyl Groups

List of Coenzyme A-activated Acyl Groups

  • Acetyl-CoA
  • Propionyl-CoA
  • Acetoacetyl-CoA
  • Coumaroyl-CoA (used in flavonoid and stilbenoid biosynthesis)
  • Acyl derived from dicarboxylic acids
    • Malonyl-CoA
    • Succinyl-CoA (used in heme biosynthesis)
    • Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA (used in isoprenoid biosynthesis)
    • Pimelyl-CoA (used in biotin biosynthesis)
    • fatty acyl-CoA (activated form of all fatty acids; only the CoA esters are substrates for important reactions such as mono-, di-, and triacylglycerol synthesis, carnitine palmitoyl transferase, and cholesterol esterification)

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list and/or groups:

    I made a list of things I have
    to remember and a list
    of things I want to forget,
    but I see they are the same list.
    Linda Pastan (b. 1932)

    Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.
    Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
