This enzyme is also called "'acetyl coenzyme A : 10-hydroxytaxane O-acetyltransferase " '.
2.
He was one of several researchers who showed that acetyl Coenzyme A is turned into mevalonic acid.
3.
The pathway starts with the oxidized into acetyl coenzyme A using a unique mechanism that involves an enzyme system called pyruvate : ferredoxin oxidoreductase.
4.
Next, these smaller molecules are taken up by cells and converted to yet smaller molecules, usually acetyl coenzyme A ( acetyl-CoA ), which releases some energy.
5.
The thio esters are also akin to a vital component, known as acetyl coenzyme A, of the energy metabolism pathway known as the citric acid cycle.
6.
Citrate synthase catalyzes the condensation reaction of the two-carbon acetate residue from acetyl coenzyme A and a molecule of four-carbon oxaloacetate to form the six-carbon citrate:
7.
Other names in common use include acetyl-CoA-carnitine O-acetyltransferase, acetylcarnitine transferase, carnitine acetyl coenzyme A transferase, carnitine acetylase, carnitine acetyltransferase, carnitine-acetyl-CoA transferase, and CATC . This enzyme participates in alanine and aspartate metabolism.
8.
The products were then purified and their properties were analyzed by CD and DLS . The crystal structure of TTR complexed with its natural cofactor, acetyl coenzyme A ( AcCoA ), to 1.55 ?resolution.
9.
The pyruvate dehydrogenase ( PDH ) complex is located in the mitochondrial matrix and catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl coenzyme A . The PDH complex thereby links glycolysis to the citric acid cycle.
10.
Lipoic acid serves as co-factor to the acetoin dehydrogenase complex catalyzing the conversion of acetoin ( 3-hydroxy-2-butanone ) to acetaldehyde and acetyl coenzyme A, in some bacteria, allowing acetoin to be used as the sole carbon source.
