In $\beta$ oxidation, which cofactor is required for the conversion of a $\beta$-ketoacyl-CoA to an acyl-CoA and an acetyl-CoA molecule?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The conversion of a ketoacyl-CoA to an acyl-CoA and an acetyl-CoA molecule in the F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 oxidation requires the cofactor CoA-SH. This cofactor provides the thiol group needed for the cleavage of the carbon-carbon bond in the ketoacyl-CoA molecule. The other cofactors listed (NAD⁺, FAD, H₂O) are not directly involved in this reaction. Therefore, the best choice is D.
