Question 5. The biosynthesis of fatty acids involves an enzyme-catalyzed hydrogenation of an a,ß-unsaturated thioester to the saturated fatty acid intermediate mediated by NADPH+. However, the reverse oxidation reaction during fatty acid metabolism requires a different cofactor FAD. Fatty Acid Biosynthesis a) Draw the structure of FAD. H flocon SCOA H SR + FAD - FADH₂ hydrogenation (reduction) NADPH+, H+ dehydrogenation (oxidation) FAD Fatty Acid Metabolism b) Draw a detailed mechanism of the dehydrogenation of fatty acyl-CoA by FAD (you can abbreviate AD as R). H SR
