The carbon chains of fatty acids, as CoA derivatives, are shortened by two carbon atoms at a time. This involves successive reactions catalyzed by four enzymes. These act in which order?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct order of enzymes involved in shortening carbon chains of fatty acids in CoA derivatives is acyl dehydrogenase, enoyl hydrase, 3-hydroxyacyl dehydrogenase, and thiolase. This order is commonly referred to as the beta-oxidation pathway. Option B presents the correct order of enzymes, while the other options present a different order of the enzymes.
