Fatty acids are a vital class of carboxylic acid compounds characterized by hydrocarbon chains attached to carboxyl groups. These compounds are predominantly found in esterified forms within various ...

These drugs function by blocking synthesis of the enzymes used to release these fatty acids from the cell membrane, preventing the synthesis of prostaglandins. Steroid drugs are commonly used to ...

A new pathway involving a fatty acid intermediate for the initiation of membrane phospholipid synthesis has been identified. This finding answers the question of how most bacteria catalyze the ...

Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. Fatty acid (FA) reprogramming has a significant role in liver cancer. However, the contribution of FA metabolism reprogramming to the ...

The work of his group on giant multifunctional enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis offer first mechanistic insights into substrate shuttling and delivery in such megasynthases, with direct ...
