What is the correct order of function of the following enzymes of -oxidation?
1. β-Hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase
2. Thiolase
3. Enoyl-CoA hydratase
4. Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct order of function of the enzymes in β-oxidation is as follows:
1. Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (converts acyl-CoA to trans-Δ2-enoyl-CoA)
2. Enoyl-CoA hydratase (converts trans-Δ2-enoyl-CoA to L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA)
3. β-Hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (converts L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA to 3-ketoacyl-CoA)
4. Thiolase (cleaves 3-ketoacyl-CoA into acetyl-CoA and a shorter acyl-CoA)

Therefore, the correct order is 4, 3, 1, 2, which matches option C.
