- Please don't provide handwritten solutionarrow_forwardEvidence for the role of acetate in fatty-acid biosynthesis comes from isotopelabeling experiments. If acetate labeled with 13C in the methyl group (13CH3CO2H) were incorporated into fatty acids, at what positions in the fattyacid chain would you expect the 13C label to appear?arrow_forwardIsoleucine and threonine are the only two amino acids with two chirality centers. Assign R or S configuration to the methyl-bearing carbon atom of isoleucine.arrow_forward
