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

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)

    Lovers, forget your love,
    And list to the love of these,
    She a window flower,
    And he a winter breeze.
