BIO 360 Chapter Notes - Chapter 17: Enoyl-Coa Hydratase, Flavoprotein, Dehydrogenation
Document Summary
Fat (trlacylglyero 1) + phospholipids in animals, plants + bacteria. Animals + plants store fat for fuel plants seeds / nuts humans 70kg -15kg fat enough to last 12 weeks compared with 12 hours of glycogen in liver + muscle. Animals , plants + bacteria make phospholipids for cell membranes. Both molecules contain glycerol backbone + 2 (e. g. , phospholipids) or. 3 (e. g. , tri acyl glycerides) fatty acids. Trans double bond , different from natural unsaturated fats. Analogous to succinate dehydrogenase reaction in citric acid cycle. Electrons from bound fad transferred directly to the electron transport chain v1 a electron transferring flavoprotein let f) Fad cofactor step 2 : hydration of alkene catalyzed by 2 isoforms of enoyl - coa hydratase. Membrane-bound long - chain hydratase, part of tri functional complex water adds across the double bond yielding alcohol on 13 carbon. Analogous to fllmarase reaction in citric acid cycle same stereospecificity.
