Consider the fatty acid C24:2 (D^{8, 15})

Break down this fatty acid. Show all the products made and the enzymes needed for any non-normal b oxidation step. With explanation

Expert Solution

We can see that there is 3 types carbon where the beta oxidation is processing - i) at saturated carbon ii) unsaturation at even no carbon

iii) unsaturation ay odd no carbon.

All the process of beta oxidation occurs at matrix of mitochondria and generates a large quantity of energy.

This beta oxidation occours most when the blood gulocose level is low and other type of low energy signal are generating i.e the time of starvation.
