  1. Fatty acid degradation

    Unreferenced date February 2007 Fatty acid degradation is the process in which fatty acids are broken down into their metabolites, in the end generating acetyl CoA , the entry molecule for the citric acid cycle , the main energy supply of animals. It includes three major steps Lipolysis of and release from adipose tissue Activation and transport into mitochondria oxidation Lipolysis and release Initially in the process of degradation, fatty acids are stored in fat cells adipocytes . The breakdown of this fat is known as lipolysis . The products of lipolysis, free fatty acid s, are released into the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body. Activation and transport into mitochondria Fatty acids must be activated before they can be carried into the mitochondria , where fatty acid oxidation occurs. This process occurs in two steps catalyzed by the enzyme fatty acyl CoA synthetase . Formation of an activated thioester bond The enzyme first catalyst catalyzes nucleophilic attack on the Adenosine triphosphate Physical and chemical properties phosphate of adenosine triphosphate ATP to form pyrophosphate and an acyl chain linked to adenosine monophosphate AMP .

  1. Fatty acid methyl ester

    Unreferenced date December 2009 Fatty acid methyl esters FAME are a type of fatty acid ester than can be produced by an alkali catalyzed reaction between fat s or fatty acid s and methanol . The molecules in biodiesel are primarily FAMEs, usually obtained from vegetable oil s by transesterification . Image Transesterification FAME.svg left clear left Since every microorganism has its specific FAME profile microbial fingerprinting , it can be used as a tool for microbial source tracking MST . The types and proportions of fatty acids present in cytoplasm membrane and outer membrance gram negative lipids of cells are major phenotypic trains. Clinical analysis can determine the lengths, bonds, rings and branches of the FAME. To perform this analysis, a bacterial culture is taken, and the fatty acids extracted and used to form methyl esters . The volatile derivatives are then introduced into a gas chromatography gas chromatagraph , and the patterns of the peaks help identify the organism. This is widely used in characterizing new species of bacteria, and is useful for identifying pathogenic strains.
