Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The elementary steps for the given transformation of a fatty acid into a fatty acyl-CoA are to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The transformation of a fatty acid into a fatty acyl-CoA is a two steps reaction. In the first step the fatty acid adenylated and in second step the nucleophilic attack of thiol group of coenzyme A convert it into fatty acyl-CoA.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The additional reaction that ensures the completion of reaction of transformation of a fatty acid into a fatty acyl-CoA is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The pyrophosphate formed in the first step of transformation of a fatty acid into a fatty acyl-CoA gets hydrolyzed to phosphate using magnesium.
