Role of Fatty Acid Synthase Complex in Fatty Acid Metabolism Introduction The fatty acid synthase (FAS) complex is a multi-enzyme protein responsible for catalyzing the synthesis of long-chain saturated fatty acids from acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA precursors. It plays a vital role in lipid metabolism and energy storage, particularly in the liver, adipose tissue, and mammary […]

Multienzyme Complexes: Definition, Examples, and Properties Introduction Multienzyme complexes are assemblies of multiple enzymes that work together to catalyze a series of reactions in a metabolic pathway. These enzymes are physically associated into a single structure, allowing substrate channeling and efficient transfer of intermediates from one enzyme to the next. These complexes are essential for
