What is unique about how acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 is regulated compared to any enzyme in glycolysis? Some phospholipid species can be phosphorylated beyond the phosphate attached to the #3 carbon. Describe the likely structure of such a phospholipid. Would the mass / charge (m/z) ratio of this molecular increase or decrease upon modification? Mechanistically, how does NADPH facilitate the removal of an oxygen atom from intermediates in fatty acid synthesis? Will a phosphatidylcholine or a phosphatidylethanolamine have a larger mass / charge (m/z) ratio?

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
