tailieunhanh - Lecture Biochemistry (2/e): Chapter 25 - Reginald Garrett, Charles Grisham

The lipids found in biological systems are either hydrophobic (containing only nonpolar groups) or amphipathic (possessing both polar and nonpolar groups). The hydrophobic nature of lipid molecules allows membranes to act as effective barriers to more polar molecules. In this chapter, we discuss the chemical and physical properties of the various classes of lipid molecules. The following chapter considers membranes, whose properties depend intimately on their lipid constituents. | Chapter 25 Lipid Biosynthesis to accompany Biochemistry, 2/e by Reginald Garrett and Charles Grisham All rights reserved.

Amino acid degradation produces cytosolic acetyl-CoA FA oxidation produces mitochondrial acetyl-CoA Glycolysis yields cytosolic pyruvate which is converted to acetyl-CoA in mitochondria Citrate-malate-pyruvate shuttle provides cytosolic acetate units and reducing equivalents for fatty acid synthesis 6 Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase The "ACC enzyme" commits acetate to fatty acid . | Chapter 25 Lipid Biosynthesis to accompany Biochemistry, 2/e by Reginald Garrett and Charles Grisham All rights reserved.
