Δ5 and Δ6 fatty acid desaturases are critical enzymes in the pathways for the biosynthesis of the polyunsaturated fatty acids arachidonic, eicosapentaenoic, and docosahexaenoic acids. They are encoded
The crystal structure of the iron free (Apo-)form of Stearoyl Acyl Carrier Protein Desaturase from Ricinus Communis (Castor Bean). Descriptor: Acyl-[acyl-carrier protein] desaturase, STRONTIUM ION Aut
Results are expressed as a percentage of total fatty acid (FA) substrate converted to desaturated products, with the corresponding activity (Δx) detected also shown. FA are designated using the ‘n-‘ n
