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:

    Love’s boat has been shattered against the life of everyday. You and I are quits, and it’s useless to draw up a list of mutual hurts, sorrows, and pains.
    Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)

    Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

    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)
