Question
Chapter 25, Problem 25.14P
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
The elementary steps for the given transformation of a fatty acid into a fatty acyl-CoA are to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The transformation of a fatty acid into a fatty acyl-CoA is a two steps reaction. In the first step the fatty acid adenylated and in second step the nucleophilic attack of thiol group of coenzyme A convert it into fatty acyl-CoA.
Interpretation Introduction
(b)
Interpretation:
The additional reaction that ensures the completion of reaction of transformation of a fatty acid into a fatty acyl-CoA is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The pyrophosphate formed in the first step of transformation of a fatty acid into a fatty acyl-CoA gets hydrolyzed to phosphate using magnesium.

- Prostaglandins are a class of eicosanoids, fatty acid derivatives with a variety of extremely potent actions on vertebrate tissues. They are responsible for producing fever and inflammation and its associated pain. Prostaglandins are derived from the 20- carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. This enzyme, a cyclooxygenase, uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor of many different prostaglandins. Rate of formation of PGG2 with 10 mg/ml ibuprofen (mM/min) Arachidonic acid (mM) Rate of formation of PGG2 (mM/min) 0.190 12.3 0.228 13.9 0.342 17.5 0.570 1.33 22.2 28.8 7.71 8.88 11.9 16.3 24.0 The kinetic data given in the table are for the reaction catalyzed by a mutant of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase.
