Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thiolytic cleavage involves the breaking of a bond by the addition of a thiol, such as coenzyme A (CoA), leading to the release of an acetyl-CoA molecule when the bond between the alpha (α) and beta (β) carbons of an acyl-CoA is broken. This process is a key step in fatty acid oxidation, where fatty acids are broken down to produce acetyl-CoA, which can then enter the citric acid cycle for energy production.
