Which of the following removes H2O from β-hydroxyl ACP, creating double bond?(a) β-ketoacyl ACP reductase(b) β-hydroxyacyl ACP dehydratase(c) Enoyl ACP reductase(d) Malonyl co-A ACP transferaseThe question was asked by my college director while I was bunking the class.My question is based upon Biosynthesis of Fatty Acids and Eicosanoids in chapter Lipid Biosynthesis, Biosynthesis of Amino Acids, Nucleotides and Related Molecules of Biochemistry

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (b) β-hydroxyacyl ACP dehydratase

For explanation: Enoyl ACP reductase REDUCES double bond, FORMING saturated acyl ACP.

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.
