Synthesis of Fatty Acid: 3 Reactions | Plants
The following points highlight the three main reactions involved in the synthesis of fatty acids. The reactions are: 1. Initiation Reaction 2. Chain Elongation Reactions 3. Termination Reaction. 1. Initiation Reaction: In this reaction, acetyl CoA transfers its acetyl group to one of the —SH groups of multienzyme complex, i.e., fatty acid synthetase. 2. Chain Elongation Reactions: Six different reactions [...]
