Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...
Acyl fluorides are organic compounds that contain a fluorine atom in their structure. These compounds have recently gained much attention in transition-metal catalysis due to their stability and ...
Acyl-activating enzymes are a diverse group of proteins that catalyze the activation of many different carboxylic acids, primarily through the formation of a thioester bond. This group of enzymes is ...
Human metabolism is a complex web of chemical processes and interactions between our cells and the microbes living within us. The more scientists can identify and classify the molecules involved in ...
Acyl carrier proteins (ACPs) are more important than they sound. Their name suggests they are simply biochemical beasts of burden. They indeed do carry substrates around and deliver them to different ...
The enzyme acyl–coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) esterifies cholesterol in a variety of tissues. In some animal models, ACAT inhibitors have antiatherosclerotic effects. We performed ...
Very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCAD), a rare inherited genetic condition, is caused by mutations in the ACADVL gene. It is associated with a disorder in fatty acid metabolism and ...
Coenzym A (auch Koenzym A, kurz CoA oder CoASH) ist ein Coenzym, das zur „Aktivierung“ von Alkansäuren und deren Derivaten dient und am Energiestoffwechsel beteiligt ist. Es ist Acylgruppenüberträger ...
