Which of the following reduces double bond, forming saturated acyl ACP?(a) β-ketoacyl ACP reductase(b) β-hydroxyacyl ACP dehydratase(c) Enoyl ACP reductase(d) Malonyl co-A ACP transferaseThis question was posed to me during an interview for a job.Asked question is from Biosynthesis of Fatty Acids and Eicosanoids in portion Lipid Biosynthesis, Biosynthesis of Amino Acids, Nucleotides and Related Molecules of Biochemistry

Answer»

The correct option is (c) Enoyl ACP REDUCTASE

For explanation: MALONYL co-A ACP transferase transfers malonyl group from co-A to ACP.

β-Ketoacyl ACP reductase reduces β-keto group to β-hydroxyl group.

β-Hydroxyacyl ACP dehydratase removes H2O from β-hydroxyl ACP, creating a DOUBLE BOND.
