Beta Oxidation

Front 1

What is the Acyl CoA converted to and with which enzyme?

Back 1

Trans-Δ²-enoyl-CoA
Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase

Front 2

Which step requires the addition of water?
What enzyme is required?

Back 2

Step 2
Converting Trans-Δ²-enoyl-CoA to L-ß-hydroxyl-acyl CoA
Enoyl CoA hydratase

Front 3

Which steps involve coenzymes?
Which coenzymes and what are they converted to/from?

Back 3

Step 1: Acyl CoA --> Trans-Δ²-enoyl-CoA
FAD --> FADH2
Step 3: L-ß-hydrocyl-acyl CoA --> ß-ketoacyl CoA
NAD+ -->NADH + H+

Front 4

Which step requires Thiolase?
What else does this step require and what are the products?

Back 4

ß-ketoacyl CoA --> Acetyl CoA + Fatty Acyl CoA (n-2)
Requires addition of H+ and CoAS-

Front 5

What happens to Fatty Acyl CoA (n-2) after 1 round of ß oxidation?

Back 5

It goes through another round. This cycle repeats until the final product of acetyl CoA is reached.

Front 6

What is the net output for each round of ß-oxidation?

Back 6

1 FADH2
1 NADH
1 acetyl CoA

Front 7

What would be the net output for an 8 carbon fatty acid?

Back 7

1 round for ever 2 carbon atoms so:
4 FADH2
4 NADH
4 acetyl coA

Front 8

Where does ß oxidation occur?

Back 8
